Rodrygo: sentenced by Xabi Alonso? City seeks to take advantage of his situation

The first LaLiga commitment for Real Madrid has marked the beginning of the Xabi Alonso era, who has made it clear without hesitation what his philosophy is on and off the field. Rodrygo Goes has not seen minutes against Osasuna by technical decision, or, better said, as a "sanction by the technical staff".

Madrid media report that the Brazilian player arrived 15 minutes late to the training of the 'merengue' team, which displeased Xabi. It has also been reported that the Tolosarra coach had notified the squad of the rules he was going to establish at the club and one of the most important was not to be late for training.

Rodrygo Goes, marginalized by Xabi Alonso?

Due to this, the 24-year-old attacker did not see action in the Real Madrid-Osasuna (1-0). However, it should be noted that since the arrival of Xabi Alonso as coach of the white club, Rodrygo has only played one game as a starter, a significant fact, since the coach has led 7 official matches with Real Madrid.

The '11' has only played 93 minutes of the last 630 possible. In that sense, Rodrygo has been one of the key players for the successes of the club from the Spanish capital for several seasons.

Last season he scored 14 goals in 52 matches and, despite the fact that in numbers it was not the best, the Osasco native always brings imbalance, speed and creativity to the attack. Mainly when he can play on the left in the absence of Vinicius Jr.

Manchester City wants to take advantage of the 'Rodrygo case' with a low offer

Manchester City sees the current situation of the 'merengue' winger as favorable for their interests, as they could be considering making an offer to Real Madrid for the player before the transfer market closes.

Although the 'Casa Blanca' insists on asking for 100 million as a minimum for the 24-year-old striker, the Mancunian team would be willing to present a low offer, for about 75-80 'kilos'.

The 'cityzens' would welcome the incorporation of the winger, especially in light of the strong rumors of Savinho's departure. The truth is that if Pep Guardiola wants to acquire the player's services, he will have to spend a good amount of money, since he has a contract until June 2028 and according to Transfermarkt, his market value is 90 million euros.

Will Rodrygo Goes be City's big bombshell in this summer market? The rumors are strong and the possibility exists, especially because the player has been linked to the English club since last season. In addition, Liverpool continues to invest in signings and the 'sky blue' team cannot be left behind. Hence, the final stretch of the summer market may bring great surprises.
