The agent of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has arrived in England for crucial transfer meetings, with both Manchester City and Liverpool keenly monitoring the Brazilian star’s situation.
Rodrygo Frustrated with Bench Role at Madrid, Seeks Exit
This development comes after the player was an unused substitute in Real Madrid’s La Liga opener under new manager Xabi Alonso, intensifying speculation about his future.
Reports suggest the winger is now very close to a sensational summer exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.
Premier League champions Manchester City are actively pursuing a move for the Selecao star.
However, their pursuit reportedly depends on a domino effect; the club must first complete the sale of winger Savinho to Tottenham Hotspur before formalizing their interest in Rodrygo.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have also entered the race to secure his signature.
The Reds view the 23-year-old as a direct and high-profile replacement for Luis Díaz, who completed a move to Bayern Munich earlier in the transfer window.
Despite the mounting transfer talk, manager Xabi Alonso has publicly insisted he counts on the player.
After leaving him on the bench, Alonso stated, “Nothing is happening. I count on Rodrygo, of course. It’s just a game. This was my decision.”
Nonetheless, with his representative now holding direct talks with his Premier League suitors, Rodrygo’s career appears to be at a significant crossroads.
