Real Madrid are open to letting Arsenal target Rodryo leave the club this summer after he fell out of favour at the club, according to a report.
Rodrygo’s future has been a major talking point during the Club World Cup, amid reports his performances would help dictate whether he remains at the club this summer.
The winger had appeared destined to leave Madrid after telling the club he never wanted to play for them again before choosing not to play in El Clasico against Barcelona in May.
Rodrygo felt he was behind superstar team-mates Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham in the pecking order and saw his role depleted towards the end of the season, as he frequently was left on the bench under Carlo Ancelotti.
New Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso appeared to offer Rodrygo a route back into the side and gave the 24-year-old a start in their opening Club World Cup match.
The Brazilian provided an assist in Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal in the group stage, where he played 65 minutes.
Since, however, he has had game time limited, being left out of the side entirely against Mexican side Pachuca and Juventus. Now, according to The Athletic, Alonso has told him he can leave the club.
Real Madrid earned a 1-0 win over Juventus to book a place in the quarter-finals, with Gonzalo Garcia scoring the only goal of the match.
Garcia, 21, has forced his way into the Real Madrid attack at the tournament after Kylian Mbappe’s bout of gastroentiritis.
The Spaniard’s growing role has added to the competition in forward areas, putting further scrutiny on Rodrygo’s position.
