Is Alonso Pressuring Rodrigo to Leave?
Wednesday 20-08-2025
The discussion about the future of Brazilian star Rodrigo Goes continues, after he did not participate in the team's match yesterday against Osasuna, in the first round of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that with Jude Bellingham's absence, Xabi Alonso gave the opportunity to player Ibrahim Diaz, who took advantage of it to confirm his desire to be an essential part of the new Real Madrid project.

The newspaper added that Rodrigo, who did not play a single minute, was neither the first nor the second choice in the substitutions, as he was preceded by both Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo Garcia, even though the Argentine star had just joined Real Madrid's training.

According to the report, these circumstances leave the door wide open for Rodrigo to leave before the transfer market closes at the end of this month, especially in light of the gradual decline of his role within the team.

For his part, Alonso said regarding Rodrigo's lack of participation: "Nothing happened, the Club World Cup was a different experience due to the competition, this is our first match of the season, and we can get past what remains, what matters is this season, and of course, I rely on Rodrigo. It's just one match; we shouldn't think about the distant future, his non-participation was due to the circumstances of the match and my decisions."
