Xabi Alonso Opens Door for Rodrygo’s Departure…
Xabi Alonso is rumored to be okay with Rodrygo waving goodbye to Real Madrid this summer. It’s like watching a magician trying to juggle with one hand tied behind his back as he reshuffles the team. Rodrygo hasn’t been the star of the show, sitting on the sidelines more than a couch potato during the Club World Cup earlier this season. Liverpool might have been eyeing him like a kid in a candy store, but with other priorities in tow, it seems they’ve put him back on the shelf.
While Rodrygo’s corner seems comfy in Madrid, it’s as shaky as a house of cards in a wind tunnel. Thanks to new talents like Kylian Mbappe filling the spotlight, finding a spot for Rodrygo has been like squeezing an elephant into a Mini Cooper. With his playing time dwindling to mere minutes and whispers of a summer move becoming louder, who knows? Europe’s top clubs could start battling for him like kids over the last piece of pizza. Only time will tell if his future lies under the Spanish sun or elsewhere.
