The transfer window is buzzing, and Rodrygo Goes has become the latest name dominating the rumor mill. Amid growing interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, reports from Madrid Zone (via @HandofArsenal) reveal that Real Madrid will only consider selling the Brazilian star if he personally requests to leave the club.

The 24-year-old winger is expected to hold decisive talks with new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, where he will reportedly demand to play in his preferred left-wing role next season. This conversation could be crucial in shaping his immediate future at the Bernabéu.

Despite Premier League temptation, Alonso has already voiced his desire to keep Rodrygo, emphasizing the player’s value in Madrid’s future plans — especially with Kylian Mbappé and Endrick entering the mix, potentially pushing Rodrygo out of his ideal position.

💼 Money Talks… But Only So Loudly

According to reports, Rodrygo is asking for €10 million net per year to join Arsenal, but the Gunners aren’t willing to meet that wage demand. Chelsea, on the other hand, have also shown interest but are yet to make a concrete move.

🧠 Our Take: Should Rodrygo Stay or Go?

This isn’t just about wages or starting roles — it’s about identity and trajectory. At Real Madrid, Rodrygo has won it all but is now at risk of being pushed to the sidelines in a star-studded attack. At 24, he needs consistent starts, freedom to shine, and a manager who truly builds around his strengths.

A move to the Premier League, especially to a system like Arteta’s Arsenal, could rejuvenate his career — but only if the terms are right. On the other hand, staying at Madrid under a manager like Xabi Alonso might keep him in the limelight if he gets his positional wish granted.

🗣️ Fans Weigh In:

“Rodrygo is world-class. Real should build around him, not bench him.”
“If Arsenal won’t pay the wages, Chelsea will.”
“Let him leave if he's not going to get his role. He's too good to be a backup.”

📅 What’s Next?

All eyes are on that upcoming Rodrygo-Xabi Alonso meeting. If he asks to leave, expect a Premier League bidding war — but if he stays, it’ll signal that Madrid’s youth policy under Alonso might just work out after all.
