Not played for another minute, famous reporter confirmed that Brazil s striker will leave Real Madrid

According to ESPN, Real Madrid forward Rodrigo is very likely to leave the Bernabeu this summer due to being unrespected under the new coach Xavi Alonso and Manchester City showed strong interest in it.

It is reported that Manchester City is giving priority to the introduction of Rodrigo. As wide attacker Savigno may transfer to Tottenham this summer, Guardiola urgently needs to strengthen the front line, and the Brazilian winger has become the number one signing candidate for the Blue Moon. Fabrizio Romano, a well-known transfer expert, also confirmed that Rodrigo is ready to leave Real Madrid.

In the first round of La Liga in the 2025/26 season held in the early morning of August 20, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 1-0 at home, but Rodrigo did not get a chance to play in the whole game and could only watch from the wall. This arrangement has triggered widespread doubts from the outside world about his future position in the team.

Although Real Madrid had difficulty in offensively advancing in the game and did not break the deadlock until the second half with Mbappe's penalty kick, Alonso still chose to trust other players and press Rodrigo on the bench. Earlier, in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, the Brazil international played only 92 minutes and had few opportunities to perform.

In addition, Alonso prefers to use young players in the game, especially the appearance of new player Franco Mastantuno, which is regarded as a clear signal that Rodrigo's future at the Bernabeu is no longer optimistic. Therefore, it is very likely that he will transfer to other clubs before the summer transfer window is closed.

Currently, Rodrigo's contract with Real Madrid will last until June 2028. However, due to the long-term inability to obtain stable playing time, the player himself is already dissatisfied. According to the Times, Real Madrid has priced Rodrigo up to 100 million euros. If clubs such as Manchester City are willing to meet this offer, the deal may be concluded soon.

This Brazilian star, who was once regarded as one of Real Madrid's future core, may be about to bid farewell to his career in White and start a new chapter.
