Rodrygo is 'redundant' to coach Alonso

Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid is more uncertain than ever as he seems to be out of Xabi Alonso's plans.

Rodrygo once expressed his disappointment at continuing to be benched by coach Xabi Alonso.

In the early morning of July 10, when Real lost 0-4 to PSG, Rodrygo did not even play a single minute. He was last on the list of Real Madrid attackers to play at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

With only 101 minutes of play, Rodrygo is even behind Brahim Díaz (103 minutes), and significantly lower than Vinícius Júnior (456 minutes), Gonzalo García (450 minutes). Even Kylian Mbappe, who missed the group stage due to injury, was used by coach Alonso for 135 minutes.

Rodrygo seems to have been pushed to the sidelines in Alonso's system. The 24-year-old striker was once considered one of Real Madrid's brightest young talents. However, the 2024/25 season has seen a significant decline in Rodrygo's status.

When coach Alonso arrived, things got even worse for the Brazilian striker. Limited minutes at the 2025 Club World Cup continued to fuel speculation about Rodrygo's future. According to Marca , Rodrygo is currently under contract with Real Madrid until June 2028, but the player is quite dissatisfied with being constantly left out of the club's starting lineup recently.

For their part, Real Madrid are ready to let Rodrygo leave in the summer transfer window of 2025 for a fee of around 90 million euros. Big clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and PSG are closely monitoring his situation.
