Rodrygo Goes Signals Strong Commitment to Real Madrid Amid Summer Exit Rumors
As Real Madrid embarks on a new era under the leadership of newly appointed manager Xabi Alonso, one of the first players to report for pre-season training was Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes.
Despite the cloud of transfer speculation that has been hanging over him in recent months, the 24-year-old has now made his stance known—he has no intention of leaving the Spanish giants this summer.
Rodrygo’s name has been regularly linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabéu ever since the close of last season.
Various reports suggested that he could be sacrificed as the club continues to revamp its already star-studded attacking lineup. With new signings arriving and others potentially on the horizon, speculation intensified about his future role in the squad.
However, recent developments have clarified Rodrygo’s position. Sources close to the club confirm that the Brazilian has directly communicated his desire to remain a part of the Real Madrid project.
This resolve appears to have been strengthened by the arrival of Xabi Alonso, whose early training sessions have reportedly impressed many players, including Rodrygo. The young winger is believed to be enjoying the new tactical approach and the positive energy Alonso brings to the dressing room.
Rodrygo further fueled speculation about his satisfaction at the club by sharing photos of himself during training on his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
The caption was a single word—“Happy”—but that alone sent a powerful message to fans and media alike. It signaled a fresh start and a player fully engaged in the new chapter of Real Madrid.
While the summer transfer window still has months to go and surprises are always possible, both Rodrygo and the club seem aligned for now.
With a long-term contract that runs until 2028 and a monumental €1 billion release clause, it’s evident that Real Madrid still sees Rodrygo as a key asset for the future.
His potential departure would not only be unlikely financially but also strategically, as Alonso is keen on players who can adapt and evolve within his new system.
At 24, Rodrygo is entering a crucial stage in his development. Under Alonso’s guidance, he could find himself taking on a more defined and consistent role, possibly allowing him to reach new heights in his career. For the time being, Rodrygo’s message is unmistakable: he’s staying at Real Madrid and is optimistic about what lies ahead.
