Rodrygo has not performed well for Real Madrid since February, and he has failed to deliver when the chips were down. However, this is not very common.
Until last season, the Brazilian was playing at his peak when the situation was bad, particularly in the Champions League, but this season has not been as successful for him this time.
Rumours surrounding Rodrygo's exit were more prevalent than ever before, but according to Marca, Rodrygo has expressed his wish to stay at Real Madrid. Los Blancos, however, have a condition for allowing him to continue.
According to the article, Rodrygo has assured those concerned that he wants to continue, but Real Madrid want more than words; they want his reaction on the pitch.
Rodrygo wants to stay but he will have to prove his worth once again
Although the coaching staff, players, and club have all been supportive of Rodrygo since his form slipped, a realistic approach to his future has not been lost on them.
Journalist Jose Felix Diaz believes that the Club World Cup is his last chance to prove his quality. Xabi Alonso previously stated that he has faith in Rodrygo and will require his assistance, but the reality is not hidden.
Rodrygo will have approximately 45 days to exhibit the value of what he brings to the table and demonstrate his continued status as a credible contender in the offensive lineup.
The future may not be over yet, but it is far from safe. The former Santos star has sparked the curiosity of numerous English clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, who may agree to break the bank to bring him aboard.
And the important part is that if Rodrygo fails to prove his worth and such clubs make a substantial offer, Real Madrid may not reconsider him staying. They need some extra cash since they intend to spend big this summer transfer window, and Rodrygo will have to bite the bullet.
