South American football expert Tim Vickery has been on Sky Sports News discussing CHELSEA target Rodrygo, and whether or not the attacker will leave Real Madrid this summer transfer window
Rodrygo scored 13 goals and provided over 10 assists in over 50 appearances last season, but Tension has been building between the Brazilian and Real with the winger unhappy with his role in the team with his relationship with his teammates deteriorating significantly.
According to recent reports, Madrid could be willing to part ways with the Brazilian forward if a substantial offer arrives. The ultimate decision, however, will rest with both Rodrygo and new head coach Xabi Alonso.
There were even claims that he had fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu, plus he was allegedly angry that the team was being built around Kylian Mbappe – not Vinicius Jr and himself.
However – Rodrygo is now set to stay in Madrid and wants to convince Xabi Alonso he is still committed to the club.
But according to Vickery, even though Rodrygo wants to stay at Madrid, he may seek a transfer move this summer: “Let’s watch this space over the next few weeks because this could be interesting.
“Rodrygo has the Real Madrid dilemma that it’s hard for players to be top dog there and he’s so talented – almost absurdly talented.
“But someone has to do the hard yards and Jude Bellingham said last year that he considered Rodrygo the most talented of all of them and the one who has to sacrifice himself the most for the side.
“Where does Xabi Alonso see him? Because he can play anywhere across the front line. He didn’t use him very much in the Club World Cup and when he did, it was wide right.
“We know Rodrygo doesn’t want to play wide right. He would far prefer a free role. Now what we understand is that he’s very keen on staying at Real Madrid and proving that he can be a key part of that side.
“Over the next two weeks , if that doesn’t happen, then he might start looking around and what an asset he would be.
“It’s a waste to have him as a bit-part player, filling in spaces or playing wide on the right. You want him roaming free, dropping his little bombs all around the opposing goal.”
