Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso protested that 'there is nothing wrong' with Rodrygo going after he had stayed on the couch for their La Liga opener against Osasuna and continues his lack of protagonism in the Santiago Bernabeu. The Basque manager has assured that he still trusts him, but actions speak louder than words.
His banking against Osasuna made it only one start in Real Madrid's last 13 games in total, more than half of those games have now come under Alonso. The Brazilian is strongly connected to a move to the Premier League, after he apparently hit Franco Mastantuono, Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz in the pecking order.
According to Indykaila, agent Pini Zahavi arrived in London on Wednesday. The Rodrygo agent is his father Eric Goes, but Zahavi, who also represents Robert Lewandowski, has been working together with Rodrygo since the start of the summer. Their information is that he was also in Liverpool on Friday to win the 4-2 victory of the Reds over Bournemouth in Anfield.
They say that Zahavi has asked meetings with Liverpool and Arsenal to discuss a movement for Rodrygo. Earlier it was reported that Arsenal would only move for him if the sale were made, although their plans could have changed in the transfer market based on the injury of Kai Havertz, the athletics say. In the meantime, Liverpool has noticed Rodrygo as an alternative as their move for Alexander Isak.
However, it looks like a place where he is not going, is Manchester City. They looked Rodrygo as an option like Savio Moreira left for Tottenham Hotspur. But with Savio who is now staying in Etihad, they are no longer on the market for a winger.
Los Blancos is said to be open for a sale for Rodrygo and would like to receive around € 100 million for his signature. The 24-year-old, who apparently has no role in Real Madrid, is also open to moving.
