Rodrygo's loss of prominence at Real Madrid has led Arsenal and Chelsea from the Premier League to join Manchester City in their interest in the '11'

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Rodrygo Goes is not going through his best moment as a Real Madrid player. This is being reflected in the current Club World Cup that is being played in the United States.

In this intercontinental competition he barely had minutes in the first game against Al Hilal (65) and RB Salzburg (23), while against Pachuca and Juventus he didn't even warm up. Faced with this, the greats of the Premier League would be attentive to the situation of the striker.

Rodrygo, who was already losing prominence under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti in the 2024/25 season, is experiencing the same situation with the new coach of the merengue team, Xabi Alonso.

In this sense, the '11' during the 2024/25 season, apart from the 88 minutes played in the Club World Cup, had 3,360 in 51 games, where he scored 14 goals and gave 10 assists, but his situation does not seem to improve even after the arrival of the Basque technical director.

Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, watching Rodrygo

The bet of the 'merengue' technical director, for now, goes through other players such as Brahim Díaz or Dani Ceballos, leaving Rodrygo relegated, who was expected to take a step forward during the course, but his prominence has been overshadowed.

Although after the match for the group stage of the Club World Cup, Xabi Alonso asked for patience with the player, it seems that the right winger would not be entirely convinced to wait. However, so far the 24-year-old player has not opened the door to a departure.

"From the first moment we talked... and I see him eager. He is a player with enormous quality; we have shared things and it is time to put them into practice."

In this context, the '11' is very popular at Manchester City, especially with technical director Pep Guardiola. In the last few hours, Chelsea and Arsenal have also joined the interest in the Brazilian.

Despite this, rumors also point out that Real Madrid would not be worried about the threat of these clubs, since there has not even been an offer for Rodrygo.

However, sources from England indicate that Arsenal's interest is more than notorious and that they could try to sign him for 70 million euros, while Transfermarkt points out that his value is 90 M€.

It should be noted that Rodrygo has a contract with Madrid until the summer of 2028.

Gonzalo García, a new 'opponent' for Rodrygo

The great talent of the native of Sao Paulo has not been enough to secure a place among the starters of the white team; in addition, the emergence of center forward Gonzalo García would be another problem for Rodrygo, since when Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. are at 100%, it is difficult not to see them together on the field.

Now, with Gonzalo, who in the Club World Cup has scored 3 goals and assisted on 1 occasion, it would be difficult to guarantee greater prominence to the '11', taking into account that Vini and Mbappé could occupy the wings.
