Is he staying?! Rodrygo hints at his state of mind at Real Madrid amid concerns Brazil star could be sold with Arsenal & Chelsea interested

Winger Rodrygo has been constantly subjected to speculation in the past months, linking him with a summer departure. Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea have been credited with serious interest in the 24-year-old. However, he posted photos of himself in training under new head coach Xabi Alonso with a one-word caption: "HAPPY".

Despite reports claiming that Rodrygo is looking to leave Madrid, and that the club are ready to cash in on the player this summer, Rodrygo has maintained a professional attitude and has taken part in all of Alonso's training sessions this week. In fact, Spanish media has suggested that the player wants to stay at the club and fight for his place under Alonso, with whom he is set to hold talks regarding where he fits into the manager's plans.

Alonso hailed Rodrygo as a "spectacular" player during his presentation press conference in May, adding that he is part of his plans. That, though, hasn't stopped other teams from pursuing a potential move for the Brazilian international this summer. In particular, Arsenal and Chelsea are the two teams who have been linked with Rodrygo the most in the past few weeks. If he were to leave this summer, Los Blancos will reportedly demand a figure between €80 million (£67m/$91m) and €100m (£84m/$114m).

The former Santos prodigy will be expected to be among the minutes at the Club World Cup that begins on June 14. Madrid will play their first game on June 18 against Al-Hilal.
