Real Madrid star’s agent expresses unhappiness

Rodrygo Goes Faces Uncertainty Over Future

Real Madrid’s young talent, Rodrygo Goes, is currently in the spotlight as rumors swirl around his future with the club. After being left out of the team against Pachuca due to a technical decision, questions arise about his role within the team. This situation mirrors a similar occurrence in El Clasico earlier this year, where Rodrygo was benched in favor of Victor Munoz.

Recent reports have linked Rodrygo with a potential move to Arsenal, while Manchester City is also reportedly interested in the Brazilian star. Despite this, there are conflicting reports suggesting that Rodrygo is keen on staying at Real Madrid, as long as he is given a significant role under manager Xabi Alonso. Premier League clubs are said to be monitoring the situation closely, according to The Athletic.

The Mystery Behind Rodrygo’s Absence

Rodrygo’s absence from the team in the final month of Real Madrid’s domestic campaign raised eyebrows. Initially attributed to a fitness issue following a fever, sources now suggest that Rodrygo opted out of playing due to feeling physically and mentally unprepared. Manager Xabi Alonso has acknowledged the situation without delving into specifics, hinting at possible motivational challenges faced by the young player.

Agent’s Involvement Adds to the Drama

Rodrygo’s father, Eric Goes, who acts as his agent, has reportedly expressed frustration with his son’s role at Real Madrid in recent months. This dissatisfaction has not been well-received within the club’s hierarchy, leading to tensions. Despite interest from English clubs, Eric Goes has rejected offers, further complicating the situation.

Possible Sale of Rodrygo

Speculation mounts over whether Real Madrid would be willing to part ways with Rodrygo, with reports suggesting a €90m price tag has been set. The club already has plans in place for potential incoming funds, including the arrival of Franco Mastantuono for €63m in August. This competition for positions in the attacking lineup could impact Rodrygo’s future at the club.
