Just in – Real Madrid attacking superstar seriously considering summer exit
Rodrygo is currently experiencing the most difficult period since joining Real Madrid. Since the day after the Copa del Rey final defeat vs Barcelona at Estadio de La Cartuja, the Brazilian has been taking time to reflect on his future.
And in a major development, according to Radio MARCA, the 24-year-old attacking superstar is seriously considering leaving the club.
Rodrygo is disheartened after fighting to achieve his dream of succeeding at Real Madrid, only to feel that his style of play no longer fits within the current squad. It is understood that he has been contemplating this decision for several months.
The Brazilian international’s exclusion from the top twenty in both the Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best awards is believed to have played a part in his thinking.
Although Rodrygo has proven himself to be a decisive player for Real Madrid in the Champions League, he has begun to sense that the attention surrounding Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Jude Bellingham at the club is too dominant.
Three years ago, Rodrygo was a key figure during Real Madrid’s legendary Champions League comebacks. However, he has not returned to that dazzling form this season, coinciding with Mbappe’s arrival.
Despite his efforts to regain his confidence, Rodrygo has not recovered the spark that once made him stand out. While he admires the three players who now accompany him in attack, the feeling is that his more collective and combinative style clashes with theirs.
As such, Rodrygo is now seriously considering the idea of leaving Real Madrid in the summer, unless the new manager that replaces Carlo Ancelotti – expected to Xabi Alonso – manages to convince him to change his mind.
Rodrygo has had strong interest from Manchester City in the past while clubs from Saudi Arabia have also sent in lucrative proposals. Both the player and the club were quick to reject any overtures, but the situation could change this summer.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
