    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Rodrygo could leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer for more game time, with Arsenal reportedly keen on signing the winger. According to Diario AS, the Gunners are leading the race to sign the Selecao star this summer, although Madrid are expected to demand a fee in the region of €90 million (£77m/$106m). Per Fabrizio Romano, Los Blancos will discuss Rodrygo's future once the Club World Cup ends.

  • WHAT ALONSO SAID

    Speaking to reporters, the Spanish manager said: "I’m sure Rodrygo can return to his best form. I spoke with him; he’s positive, eager, and ready when needed."
