Arsenal and Chelsea forced to wait on Rodrygo as Real Madrid star seeks talks with Xabi Alonso before making transfer decision

<p>Madrid winger Rodrygo is at a crossroads regarding his future with the club. Despite being a key player in previous seasons, the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and tactical shifts under former manager Carlo Ancelotti have seen his prominence diminish. Now, with Alonso at helm, Rodrygo is seeking clarity on his role before making any decisions about a potential transfer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/rodrygo-espera-a-xabi-n/" target="_blank"><em>AS</em></a>, Rodrygo's situation is further complicated by interest from top Premier League clubs, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/rodrygo-real-madrid-future-decision-xabi-alonso-brazilian-winger-chelsea-arsenal-interest/blt0b2e825f8b3213f1" target="_blank">including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City</a>.

He's a spectacular player, and we'll need him."</p>

WHAT ALONSO SAID

<p>The discussion between the 24-year-old will be pivotal in determining whether he remains at Madrid or considers opportunities elsewhere.</p>
