After starting in Real Madrid’s routine 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo last night, Rodrygo once again finds himself at the heart of swirling transfer rumours as the closing days of the summer window approach.

The 24-year-old Brazilian winger, who lined up on the left flank at the Estadio Bernabéu, has struggled to secure a regular role in Xabi Alonso’s reshaped attack, often featuring behind the preferred trio of Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe and Arda Güler.

During Real Madrid’s Club World Cup run, Alonso consistently left him out of the starting lineup, with the Brazilian only featuring as a starter once during the summer tournament.

Amid this backdrop of uncertainty, the Athletic has reported that Rodrygo has enlisted his super-agents Pini Zahavi and Kia Joorabchian to scout potential suitors ahead of the window’s Monday deadline.

Despite his camp’s insistence that he wishes to remain at the Bernabéu, the very act of exploring alternatives signals his openness to a move – though clubs have been warned that Rodrygo is far from determined to leave Spain’s capital.

Such half-hearted negotiations suggest the player is weighing his options rather than fully committing to an exit.

FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards has a long-standing admiration for Rodrygo, having first attempted to sign him from Santos in 2017 when the player was just a teenager.

The Brazilian forward has played a vital role for Real Madrid over the last five years.

During his time at the club, he has amassed over 270 appearances, contributing significantly to their successes – including three La Liga championships and two Champions League triumphs.

But he now has the chance to become a main star at another top European club, if that is the path he indeed chooses.

It is thought that Real Madrid want in excess of 90 million euros to even contemplate letting go of the Brazilian.
