Real Madrid are reportedly willing to “consider” offers for Rodrygo this January amid the Brazilian’s ruinous run of form.
Rodrygo’s latest goalless cameo for the capital club came against Girona on Sunday, extending his scoring drought to a staggering 30 consecutive appearances. No forward in Real Madrid’s 123-year history has ever gone longer without finding the back of the net.
Set to the backdrop of these performances, it’s perhaps unsurprising that Real Madrid are prepared to cash in on the 24-year-old. claim that Xabi Alonso’s side are open to an approach and claim that Rodrygo no longer boasts “untransferable status.” The same report states that the winger could have moved on last summer only to personally reject the glut of Premier League offers which washed his way to stay in Spain.
Rodrygo may have come through at Santos, but his affection for Real Madrid is deep-rooted. The theme of his 10th birthday party was straightforward: “Real Madrid, Rodrygo.”
That admiration still appears to exist. During November’s international break, Rodrygo insisted that he would try to battle his way into Alonso’s good graces through “hard work and dedication.” Whatever he’s doing currently isn’t quite working.
Alonso has given Rodrygo just four starts across 19 domestic and European fixtures this season. It was April 1 the last time he completed a full set of 90 minutes for Madrid, clearly the need to gain more playing opportunities is no longer a joking matter.
