Since Xabi Alonso took over the management of the team, it was very clear that the kind of formation he has been using since then will have no place to occupy Rodrygo in the attack again. Asides that, he’s seeing potentials more in the younger stars of the team to come in as substitutes to the attacking players Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. So Rodrygo is already not in his plans and it’s better for him to try other teams with the kind of skillful and talented player he is.
I haven’t heard about Chelsea’s interest in him, maybe it’s just a rumour for now as you’ve said. I know he’ll get many offers from even big teams in Europe and the only problem that would make his transfer to those teams not work out or fail will be the amount Real Madrid will be willing to sell him off, if not he’s a player tht every team will want to have in their squad. With the transfer window still opened, we will wait to see which team he get to join.
Yea it will really do him more good to go else where to try too since the manager xabi is not looking his way, despite that vicious is a good that we have seen, Mbappe two is a good too but his last season wasn't impressing as much as we expected it to be, I will just say that the manager has to improve in his decision making, Personally i have not seen any improvement in Realmdrid team, we can actually attest to the fact that there performance during the just concluded club world cup was disasterous, I know that the league has not started but will soon start, I think xabi got some work to do, the club got many world star players but the result coming from the US very poor.
As for Chelsea interest in Rodrygo, it is still a rumour, that guy is good I even wish Chelsea can go for him but as it stands I Chelsea have one already and I know you know who he's is, so going for him may not be their priority.
