The change of coach has put Rodrygo future at Real Madrid in even more jeopardy, especially since Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid will not stand in his way if he receives a suitable offer. Xabi Alonso style of play at the Club World Cup should have been an opportunity for him to prove his worth to the new coach, but in reality, he struggled to contribute to the team.

Arsenal interest in him could change the current situation, especially as Arteta is keen to have Rodrygo in his squad to add ammunition on the wing. He has to make the right decision for his future, it seems Rodrygo has to follow in Martin Odegaard footsteps to get regular playing time to improve his skills, in a situation like this, staying at Real Madrid is not the best solution for him.

It didn't even start now, if you noticed or maybe have been watching Real Madrid games you will understand that it happened even from Ancelotti's era. Just towards when the season was to be wrapped up that Rodrygo started seeing more of the bench than previous. He actually declined in form of the truth and Ancelotti most of the time at that few games before the end of the season, dropped him even when he was not injured. Alonso only made it clear that he was not part of his plans after he publicly asked Guler not to leave that he is in his plans.

Rodrygo made a significant contribution to Real Madrid's trophy haul, particularly in the 2023/24 season. Unfortunately, his performance on the pitch has declined in the last season. While the decline wasn't significant, it has also led to a decline in the coach's trust in him.

I believe that with his ability and skill, coupled with his relatively young age, he still deserves to remain in Real Madrid's first team. However, after the 2024/25 season, Real Madrid suffered a major setback due to less than satisfactory results in almost every competition they entered and failed to win a trophy, Real Madrid clearly needs a player with truly consistent performance and performances, especially under the new manager Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid has many targets for the coming season. And maybe Rodrygo does not fit the criteria and is not included in Xabi Alonso's plans for the next season, so now Rodrygo is widely rumored to be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.
