Rodrygo wants to leave Real Madrid again

Top Premier League sides Arsenal and Tottenham are ready to return to the race for Rodrygo, after the Brazilian star once again considered his future.

Rodrygo is facing huge pressure as the 2025/26 season kicks off.

According to El Pais , Rodrygo was persuaded by Real Madrid's board and teammates such as Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe to stay at the Spanish capital club this summer.

However, since the beginning of the season, Rodrygo has only started two matches, while names like Franco Mastantuono and Arda Guler are often prioritized by head coach Xabi Alonso.

Alonso is happy to keep Rodrygo at the club, but the coach only sees him as a squad-building option. With Nico Paz likely to join Real Madrid in 2026, sources close to Rodrygo have revealed that the player is slowly accepting that he will have to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old striker even plans to leave Real Madrid in the January 2026 transfer window, in order to win a place in the Brazilian squad for the 2026 World Cup.

Most recently, coach Carlo Ancelotti called up Rodrygo for Brazil's matches in October. However, if he cannot play regularly for Real Madrid, the chance of Rodrygo being called up to the Brazilian team for the 2026 World Cup is very low.

At the current "Selecao", the starting position on the left wing will almost certainly belong to Vinicius Junior, while many new faces are also making a good impression. It should be remembered that in May 2025, Rodrygo was also absent from the first Brazilian national team call-up by coach Ancelotti.

Rodrygo has been linked with Premier League clubs in the summer transfer window of 2025, and the top league in the UK is also the player's preferred destination.
