Rodrygo makes a strange decision that raises suspicions at Real Madrid
Rodrygo Goes is having one of his worst moments as a Real Madrid player . The Brazilian striker, eternal substitute, has managed to start this season, due to the injury of Vinícius and the lack of an indisputable 9, but he has not been able to take advantage of it. Rodrygo started, scoring against Athletic Club on the first day , but there his powder got wet.
Since then, Rodrygo has played a total of 10 games for Real Madrid, 8 of them as a starter, but he has not seen the net again . And the worst thing for their interests is that Vinícius has already returned to the team, to which is added the opportunities that Ancelotti is giving to Carlo Ancelotti . Everything together is affecting Rodrygo, who is playing worse and worse, without confidence.
After being a substitute in Girona and going through the match against Napoli without penalty or glory , Ancelotti again left the Brazilian on the bench in the match against Osasuna , to give him entrance in the final stretch, with everything decided. It was then that the penalty arrived in favor of Real Madrid. According to Relleu , several players, such as Valverde, Mendy or Lucas Vázquez, approached Rodrygo to ask him to take the penalty, a golden opportunity to gain confidence, but the Brazilian did not want to.
With Rodrygo refusing to execute the maximum penalty, the ball went to Joselu, who for spinning very thin missed the penalty in front of a fantastic Sergio Herrera, who avoided the 5-0, “la maneta”, which claimed the fans of Real Madrid, to which the goalkeeper replied with some controversial gestures.
The future of Rodrygo, up in the air
Real Madrid are worried about the situation of Rodrygo, who is seeing that his time at the Santiago Bernabéu is coming to an end. Jude Bellingham and Joselu have usurped the offensive positions and the situation does not look good, as Real Madrid are waiting for the signing of Kylian Mbappé and a top 9. In these circumstances, Rodrygo would no longer have a place in the team, which would force him to ask for a change of scenery.
In fact, Rodrygo is beginning to suspect Madrid, who could be offering it to big teams in Europe. In England there are several interested clubs, such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United and Real Madrid would reject an offer close to 70 million euros. For now, Rodrygo will remain at Real Madrid until next summer, at which time the white club will transfer him.
