Recent weeks have seen growing speculation around Real Madrid’s forward Rodrygo as his form dips amid a tricky season.
Despite Real’s run in La Liga that will see them finish second and their Champions League progress, Rodrygo’s individual contribution has been underwhelming, raising questions about his future at the club.
Injuries and inconsistent performances have marred the 23-year-old’s campaign, leading to whispers that he might not be in the long-term plans of Xabi Alonso.

Meanwhile, young talent Arda Guler’s rise has created additional competition in the squad, casting doubt over Rodrygo’s starting place.
Against this backdrop, Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign the Brazilian, prepared to push a high bid for the winger, as per Diario AS.
Rodrygo, once hailed as one of the brightest attacking prospects in Europe, has seen his goal-scoring dry up since February, netting just one goal in nearly four months.
His last notable contribution came during Real Madrid’s Champions League group stage clash at Brest, but since then his impact has waned significantly.
The Spanish media have noted a curious situation surrounding his fitness and form, especially given Ancelotti’s recent contradictory remarks, first insisting Rodrygo is “perfectly fine,” only for the player to be left out of matchday squads shortly after.
This ambiguity has unsettled fans and pundits alike, sparking rumours of deeper issues.

Complicating matters further, Xabi Alonso, has reportedly identified Guler as a key player for the future, signalling a shift in priorities at Madrid.
For Rodrygo, this means limited opportunities to reclaim his position in a highly competitive squad.
The timing could not be better for interested Premier League clubs to move in.
Manchester United, keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season, view Rodrygo as a valuable addition who could thrive under their style of play.
Arsenal, equally desperate for creative flair and goal threat on the wings, are reportedly prepared to challenge United in what promises to be a fierce bidding war.
The transfer saga is far from over, but with Rodrygo’s form dipping and his standing at Madrid uncertain, the Red Devils will be hoping to secure a deal before rivals can outmaneuver them.
