Real Madrid striker Rodrygo is connected this summer with Arsenal, among others, clubs and the Brazil -International has now told the club hierarchy where he sees his future
Rodrygo has told Real Madrid that he is determined to stay and fight for his place in the Bernabeu – but he only gets the Club World Cup tournament to prove his value to Xabi Alonso.
The Brazil attacker, 24, is connected to a relocation of the Bernabeu this summer in the midst of speculation that the Spanish giants would like to cash in. Arsenal belong to those who can offer Rodrygo an escape route as a Real decides to move him further.
However, the player himself is not interested in pursuing a movement elsewhere – something he told the club himself when he was asked by the club for his future.
Marca has the details and they say that Rodrygo is 'determined' to continue playing for Real Madrid, despite transfer speculation that links him elsewhere with a movement.
However, there is a turn; Los Blancos would be 'worried' since February about a drop in Rodrygo's performance levels and would like to see some proof that the former Santos man can play an influential role under Alonso, the new head coach of the club, rather instead of later.
That means that the upcoming club of World Cup in the United States will be crucial for Rodrygo, who can still be sold if he cannot 'convince the power brokers in Real Madrid that he is back at his best.
Despite links with a movement elsewhere, it is said that there have been offers for Rodrygo so far. It is known that Arsenal is interested in the versatile attacker, because they are looking for more firepower for another attack on the Premier League title.

Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao would be their target, but compiling a package for Rodrygo would probably be cheaper than the winner of the Euro 2024 away from Spain.
When he was asked about the interest in Rodrygo earlier this month, Arteta replied: “If you want to win big trophies, you should be the best in the market, not? The teams who win always have the best players.
‌ “I would not like to mention a player, but there is proud because we have put the club in a position that people say next season:” You have to win a big trophy. ” And that means that everyone believes, and that we are an elite team in this country and in Europe.
“What is clear with the amount of injuries we had in the front line is that we need a target threat and that we need firepower. Insight into the fact that the context can change tomorrow, we can not only rely on the figures we had earlier. We have to add goals, add figures, and that will be in various functions.”
