Tensions grow as Brazilian forward feels sidelined under Xabi Alonso, with intermediaries now pushing for a summer transfer.
A storm is brewing at Real Madrid as forward Rodrygo Goes is reportedly seeking an exit from the club following growing tensions with club president Florentino Pérez. According to The TouchlineX (via Joaquim Piera), the Brazilian international feels undervalued and frustrated with his diminished role under new manager Xabi Alonso, prompting a “cold war” between him and the club hierarchy.
Despite his clear discontent, a potential transfer faces complications. Rodrygo does not have a professional agent; instead, his father — who lacks experience in high-level transfer negotiations — currently represents him. As a result, several intermediaries have stepped in, attempting to broker a deal with Premier League clubs ahead of the new season.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and other top-flight English teams have already shown interest in the 23-year-old winger. However, Real Madrid has set a firm price tag of €100 million, refusing to entertain any offers below that threshold.
Rodrygo is expected to make a final decision on his future later this summer, just before the 2025–26 season kicks off. For now, the standoff with Pérez continues, leaving his future at the Bernabéu increasingly uncertain.
