Santiago Bernabeu has recently been the focus of speculation and intrigue with the future of the Brazilian striker Rodrygo Goes. Since Xabi Alonso took over the coach of Real Madrid, the Spanish coach has undergone a dynamic and creative team vision. At the center of this change, the sudden rise of the Turkish star Arda Güler, who led to intense debate about the roles of other key players, especially Rodrygo, took place at the center of this change. Following a long uncertainty, Real Madrid reported that Rodrygo’s decision on the future of the club was reported. This decision was shaped by Alonso’s brave strategy about prioritizing Güler in the first 11.
In 2019, Rodrygo, a 24 -year -old wing player who transferred from Santos to Real Madrid for a 40 million euros, became an important part of the club’s attack line. With 68 goals and 51 assists in 270 games, his versatility and ability made him a favorite of the fans. However, his role has been under the spotlight since Alonso’s arrival. The new coach’s tactical preferences, which emphasize the creative midfielder and fluent attack structures, caused Rodrygo to have difficulty in obtaining stable times. The LAST FIFA Clubs played the limited participation in the World Cup (only 92 minutes in three games and could not play in the semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain), underlined the decreasing role. Ignoring this and Alonso’s statements to the public about tactical decisions fueled the speculation of Rodrygo about his long -term place in Bernabeu.

Meanwhile, Arda Güler emerged as a revelation under the guidance of Alonso. The 20 -year -old Turkish midfielder, who had previously had difficulty in finding a chance to form under Carlo Ancelotti, turned into a central figure in the Real Madrid squad. Alonso’s decision to play Guler as a creative midfielder in front of rooted stars such as Rodrygo. When Guler’s ability to be effective on the attack line, his vision and technical skills, he gained the trust of the technical team. According to reports, Alonso sees Guler as Luka Modric’s long -term successor and club management supports this vision. This change was clearly seen in the Clubs World Cup, which Guler started at the top 11 in matches. This rate is quite high compared to the first 11 %of the Ancelotti period.
The decision to prioritize Güler had a direct impact on Rodrygo’s status. He argues that Alonso’s new transfers such as Alonso’s Guler, Franco Mastantuono, and Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. When this crowded front line combined with young talents such as Gonzalo Garcia, it removed Rodrygo from the top 11. Despite his impressive performance, Alonso’s Talent set of Rodrygo is reported to believe that the system that gives priority to the players who can manage the game in the last third -third.
As a result, Real Madrid opened the door to the possible departure of Rodrygo. Premier League clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are closely interested in the Brazilian player and Arsenal shows the most concrete interest. According to reports, Rodrygo says that he preferred Arsenal if he leaves and sees the Premier League as an ideal place to continue his career. However, the player has a contract until 2028 and clearly expressed his desire to fight for his place in Real Madrid. The talks between Rodrygo and the club are planned to be held in the coming days and the wing player requires clarity about his role in the 2025/26 season.
Alonso’s attitude is not undisputed. Considering the separation of experienced players such as Modric and Toni Kroos, especially in the club, some people in the club argue that it may be early to leave the team of a proven talent of 90 million euros, such as Rodrygo. The last transfers of the club, such as Mastantiono and Alvaro Carreras, forced the budget and led to a remarkable transfer such as Rodrygo to finance more supplements like a creative midfielder who will complete Güler. However, with Alonso, especially Güler’s versatility and brahim Diaz’s extension of the contract, his trust in the depth of his staff shows that Real Madrid is ready to continue without Rodrygo if the right offer comes.
The coming weeks will be critical for Rodrygo and Real Madrid.

As Real Madrid progresses during this transition period, the balance between raising young talents and holding the proven stars will determine the pursuit of trophies. Rodrygo’s future is uncertain for now, but Alonso’s vision is clear: Arda Güler is the cornerstone of Real Madrid’s future.
