Xabi Alonso is reportedly not completely satisfied with Rodrygo’s current position within the team, according to The Athletic. The Real Madrid manager remains uncertain about the Brazilian attacker’s place in his tactical plans and may consider seeking an alternative if the forward leaves this summer.
Rodrygo is said to be exploring options for a move away from the Spanish capital. Together with his representative, Pini Zahavi, the 24-year-old is reportedly evaluating potential destinations as doubts over his involvement in the squad persist.
Although Alonso is believed to want more reinforcements in the ongoing transfer window, Real Madrid’s hierarchy have communicated that they do not plan to bring in any more players. The manager is expected to work with the resources currently available to him.

While there is no official confirmation of a departure, the club is willing to consider serious offers for the Brazil international. Should a suitable bid arrive, the La Liga champions are not opposed to a transfer.
Alonso’s desire for additional recruits highlights some dissatisfaction with certain areas of the squad. Still, with no further signings expected, any adjustment to the lineup may rely on players departing, including potentially Rodrygo.
