The arrival of Kylian Mbappe was welcomed in the Spanish capital, and publicly Rodrygo Goes was part of it. In any case, he will certainly start the season as theoretically the most under pressure for his position with the French to come straight into the line-up.
If Ancelotti goes with a front three, then Rodrygo would have the chance to start, and Sport say that Real Madrid has given assurances about his role next season. Playing Rodrygo would mean dropping Jude Bellingham further back, and going with a much more attacking line-up than Carlo Ancelotti did so.
Los Blancos have pointed to the exit of Joselu Mato as an additional factor in their favour, as Mbappe and Endrick Felipe are more likely to arrive at half-time. However, the Brazilian is not completely convinced, nor is his camp, bearing in mind that Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz will also fight for their minutes.
The same outlet explains that Rodrygo's camp is now sounding out potential options, so he is mainly linked to Manchester City and Liverpool, and less Arsenal and Newcastle United. Those who advise him are willing to move if he is no longer a starter at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Of course, it seems very unlikely that Rodrygo he would move this summer, without even fighting for his place. Equally any move for Rodrygo looks likely to be in exchange for a big fee, and any side considering him as an option will have to make him the centerpiece of their already formed transfer plans. If he doesn't start the big games next season, however, talk of a move will grow stronger before next summer.
