Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid has been a hot topic in recent months, with strong interest from Premier League sides like Arsenal and Chelsea.
With the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the rise of Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, the Brazilian winger has struggled to shine as the main man. Now, rumors are growing that he could leave to find more consistent first-team football. Real Madrid reportedly value him at around €100 million, and clubs like Arsenal are watching closely — drawn to his versatility and eye for goal.
But the 24-year-old may have just calmed the noise. He shared training photos under new manager Xabi Alonso with a single caption: “HAPPY.”
Did you know?
During his unveiling in May, Xabi Alonso called Rodrygo a “spectacular” player and confirmed he’s part of his plans moving forward. Still, that hasn’t stopped big clubs from circling. Arsenal and Chelsea remain heavily linked with the Brazilian winger. If he does leave, reports say Real Madrid would want between €80M and €100M for the transfer.
Rodrygo’s Journey at Real Madrid
Rodrygo signed for Real Madrid from Santos in 2019 for €40 million. Since then, he’s made over 260 appearances and scored 68 goals across all competitions. While he’s often come off the bench, his impact has been massive — especially in big games.
One of his most iconic moments came during the 2022 Champions League run. He scored clutch goals against Chelsea in the quarter-finals and delivered two last-minute goals against Manchester City in the semi-final second leg — dragging Madrid into extra time before they eventually lifted the trophy.
Rodrygo’s contract runs until June 2028, but with growing competition in the squad, questions remain about his next chapter.
