Real Madrid gave a last opportunity for its Brazilian striker Rodrigo Goss to continue his career with the Royal Club, which continues to prepare for the World Cup for Clubs scheduled this summer.
Rodrigo this season was undoubtedly disappointing, which raised many rumors about his departure during the 2025 summer transfer window.
The 11th player’s performance was absent from the Real Madrid squad since the King’s Cup final on April 26.
Reports spoke about the intention of coach Xabi Alonso to rely on Frenchman Killian Mbappe, English Jude Bellingham and Brazilian Vinicius Junior and the lack of a place for Rodrigo.
Real Madrid has not made any official statements about these speculations yet, but Alonso’s message is very clear: “We have to talk” about the player’s future.
In addition to the talks between Rodrigo and the new Royal Club coach, the “Valdibas” offices have set a final date for Rodrigo Gos to continue with the team.
The information published by Jose Felix Diaz, “Marca”, indicates that the Merengue leaders “want a reaction on the field” from the Brazilian striker in the World Cup clubs.
According to the newspaper, this response, which the Madrid leadership demanded a specific date, “they want to show this in the Club World Cup”, and therefore, the tournament, which will be held in the United States starting from June 18, appears to be a decisive moment for Rodrigo to continue in the first team.
Time runs out
It seems that everything indicates that the Club World Cup may be the championship that determines the future of Rodrigo.
If he can achieve good numbers under Alonso’s tactical leadership, especially if they directly affect the team’s competitive opportunities, it will be confirmed with the team.
In the event of the opposite, many believe that Real Madrid may have secretly listed in the transfer market. Given the attention that Rodrigo receives by the European elite clubs such as Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Premier League appears to be the perfect destination for the Brazilian international. He expressed his desire to stay in the Santiago Bernabeu’s dressing room and participate in the new sports project of the Royal Club, under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
But it will not be easy as it was in previous times, when expressing this desire was sufficient to keep Rodrigo. The Brazilian striker will now have to win his place, as well as the confidence of the Board of Directors, at the Club World Cup.
