Xabi Alonso is open to Rodrygo leaving Real Madrid this summer, according to reports.

The winger played a peripheral role in the team during the Club World Cup earlier this summer, and Rodrygo has been repeatedly linked with an exit in the transfer window.

Liverpool is among the clubs to be linked with Rodrygo, although that looks unlikely given the Reds’ priority in the market is not currently to add a winger.

Luis Diaz’s departure does leave Liverpool light on options in the wide areas, but with Rio Ngumoha expected to play a more senior role this term and options such as Jeremie Frimpong, Dominik Szoboszlai and Hugo Ekitike able to play on the flanks, a move for Rodrygo seems unrealistic.

The Athletic claims “both the club and Alonso are open to Rodrygo leaving”, with the Real boss and his coaching staff are not happy with the player.

While Rodrygo is said to have indicated he wants to remain in the Spanish capital, he is working with agent Pini Zahavi, which could hint that a summer move is possible.

The Brazilian’s role in the Real side has come under increasing scrutiny since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu last year.

With Vinicius Junior also a staple of the team under Carlo Ancelotti, finding a spot for Rodrygo often proved difficult and he regularly was forced to slot in on the right wing.

Since Alonso’s appointment this summer, Rodrygo has moved further down the pecking order and doesn’t naturally fit into the former Liverpool midfielder’s 3-5-2 shape.

Despite starting the first of Real’s matches at the Club World Cup, Rodrygo managed just 27 minutes across the following five games.

Liverpool reportedly reached out to the player’s representatives earlier this summer, but there have been no suggestions that talks between the Reds and Real took place.

Rodrygo would likely command a fee in the region Liverpool paid for Florian Wirtz earlier this summer

Rodrygo has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur this window.

Like the rest of the Real squad, the attacker returned to pre-season training this week ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
