"RODRYGO'S CONVERSATION WITH XABI ALONSO Will Decide His Future At Real Madrid" Amid Reports Of Premier League Interest

Real Madrid is considering selling their forward Rodrygo, but only if the player specifically asks to leave Santiago Bernabéu. The Spanish LaLiga giants have reportedly received interest from Premier League clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, with Rodrygo's future hanging in the balance.

According to Madrid Zone, Rodrygo will insist to Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso that he wants to play in the left-wing position in his squad next season. This conversation will be crucial in deciding his future at the club. Alonso has already emphasized the importance of Rodrygo to the team, stating that the club needs him amid reports linking him with a move to the Premier League this summer.

The 24-year-old Brazilian international is reportedly demanding around €10m net per year to join Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta's side is hesitant to meet this wage demand. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has set a price tag of around €80 million for Rodrygo, with Manchester City and Manchester United also reportedly keeping an eye on the situation.

Despite the interest from Premier League clubs, Rodrygo has informed the club of his desire to remain with the team. However, Real Madrid has requested an improvement in his performance, and the player is awaiting a discussion with coach Xabi Alonso to understand his role and the team's plans before making a final decision about his future.

Rodrygo's Current Situation:

- Contract: Rodrygo's contract and wage demands are central to the transfer talks.

- Transfer Fee: Real Madrid has set a price tag of around €80 million for Rodrygo, although another report suggests a valuation of $132 million (£100 million).

- Potential Buyers: Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United are among the clubs interested in signing Rodrygo.

Xabi Alonso's Impact:

- Tactical Role: Rodrygo's conversation with Alonso about playing in the left-wing position will be key to deciding his future.

- Performance Expectations: Alonso has emphasized the importance of Rodrygo to the team and expects him to improve his performance.

As the transfer window approaches, Rodrygo's future remains uncertain. Will he stay at Real Madrid or join a Premier League club? Only time will tell.
