Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid is currently in a state of uncertainty, as the Spanish giants prepare for a new era under incoming manager Xabi Alonso. While Alonso has yet to make any definitive decisions regarding the composition of his squad, there is no guarantee that every player will be content with the changes or secure in their position.
Rodrygo experienced a notable dip in his influence during the most recent campaign. Although he remains a technically gifted and versatile forward, his output did not match previous seasons. Moreover, the arrival of Kylian Mbappé has further complicated his standing within the squad. The French star has joined an attacking unit already headlined by Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, who are now widely regarded as the central figures of the team.
Rodrygo Faces Uncertain Role in Madrid’s New Era
As a result, Rodrygo’s position within the team has become less prominent, with speculation mounting about a potential departure from the Santiago Bernabéu. The Brazilian is expected to wait and see what role Alonso envisions for him, but the likelihood of a transfer cannot be ruled out.
Premier League interest has already begun to surface. Arsenal are reportedly eager to make him part of their squad, recognising the value he could add to Mikel Arteta’s developing side. The Gunners view him as a player who could elevate their attacking options, particularly as they look to build on their recent progress and contend for major honours.
Arsenal Must Act Swiftly Amidst Chelsea Competition
However, Arsenal are not alone in their pursuit. As reported by AS, Chelsea is also keen to secure Rodrygo’s signature and has been monitoring the situation for several months. The Blues are expected to make a serious move for the forward in the coming transfer window, and their qualification for the Champions League may give them an edge in negotiations.
With both clubs possessing the financial means to complete such a transfer, the decision may ultimately rest with the player and the direction set by Alonso at Real Madrid. For Arsenal, acting swiftly could be crucial if they wish to avoid losing out to a domestic rival.

The young Brazilian has been unsettled at the cemetery of talents for some time.
Arsenal needs a winger and the fact Rodrygo can plays on both wings, this deal could be made from heven
Forget about the Spuds, hell could all broke loose on June first
Rodrygo – fantastic signing.
Delap, Sancho, total waste of money.
Chelsea must stop collecting flops.
I keep hearings figuures in the region of £80-£100 million. For real? For a guy that contributes the same inconsistency as our own Martinelli?
Trossard that many have had enough of has a much better output than Rodrygo.
🤔
I like Rodyrgo and I think he’s a better footballer than both but his output is concerning. We already have enough technically skilled players and we just need goal scorer’s at this point. If he were less than 80-100mill I’d snap him up in an instant. But yea for what we are looking for that price tag is too much for someone that wouldn’t be scoring double digit goals for us. If only this club wasn’t sleepwalking when Kvara was available last summer AND in January.
