Analysis of why Rodrigo is reluctant to play for Real Madrid again and the possibility of his transfer to Manchester City

Will Rodrigo leave Real Madrid in Madrid soon? Authoritative Spanish media reported that in addition to Carlo Ancelotti, there is another important figure who may leave the team. Let's analyze why the breakup between this Brazilian player and Real Madrid is really approaching. At the end of April, news about Rodrigo's future was first reported. Athletics reported that the Brazilian player intends to request a salary increase to Real Madrid. According to media, if rejected, he may leave the club. At the same time, Ass said that Rodrigo's position in the team is no longer stable. It is said that Real Madrid believes that with Alda Guerre, the team's lineup will be more balanced. And Goes' future depends on the decision of new coach Xavi Alonso. In addition, if Rodrigo expressed his willingness to leave Real Madrid, the club would not keep him. According to the transfer market (Transfermarkt), his net worth is 100 million euros, and the summer of 2025 is the ideal time to exchange for the club's maximum profit.

Maca added that Rodrigo felt out of place in the team. He believes that in Real Madrid, he has not received the attention he deserves, while Killian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham are attracting much attention. For example, Goes was very disappointed that he failed to make the top 20 in the 2024 Golden Globes. Sources say the Brazilian player tends to leave the club.

Then, Marca reporter Carlos Caprio revealed more details. According to him, Rodrigo will definitely lose his position in the starting lineup after the arrival of Xavi Alonso. The Spanish coach plans to use only three strikers. Alonso believes that otherwise the team's lineup will lose balance.

Caprio added that Josep Guardiola is a big fan of Rodrigo's talent. Manchester City tried to sign the player last summer but was rejected. However, in June 2025, everything may change. Real Madrid believes that if you receive a suitable offer, you should accept it. The potential €100 million transfer fee will allow the Madrid man to sign a top central defender.

His absence on the court triggered some strange situation after news of Rodrigo's possible departure. He participated in the team training from April 30 to May 3, but Real Madrid did not release any news about his injury. Carlo Ancelotti also did not mention the Brazilian player's health at the pre-match press conference against Celta. However, the day before the game, Rodrigo was not on the roster. The next day, there was news that Goes was sick.

At the pre-match press conference against Barcelona, ​​Ancelotti said Rodrigo has recovered and is ready for the game. But has he been on the field? No. After the game, the coach gave the opposite statement, saying that Goes was not ready. And today (May 13), OndaCero Radio reported that Rodrigo will also miss the game against Majorca due to health reasons. This is a story full of mystery.

Maca said in its report that Rodrigo told the coaching staff that he was not fully prepared for the game against Barcelona. But Ancelotti still put the Brazilian player on the roster to avoid rumors about his future. However, being replaced at the halftime break in the Copa del Rey final (2:3, overtime) was a blow to Rodrigo. According to the media, Rodrigo is not only considering the possibility of leaving, he doesn't even want to play for Real Madrid anymore. Recently, the Brazilian player's relationship with his teammates has deteriorated dramatically.
