Rodrygo considering Real Madrid exit barring U-turn

Ever since he began to be pushed aside from the front pages and praise last season, with those interviews in which Rodrygo himself wished to improve his status in the 'Merengue' team, the Brazilian striker opened a door that seemed to close at the end of the season, after winning the 15th Champions League on the bench. The signing of Kylian Mbappe added more competition, but Carlo Ancelotti adapted the scheme so that none of the front three were disadvantaged. Now, with the Italian coach's departure and his latest sensations, Rodrygo would have in mind to leave, according to Felipe del Campo in ‘Radio Marca’.
The journalist says that the footballer already had the intention of leaving a couple of weeks ago, but has advanced this little war to the point of not wanting to play anymore. A tug of war that pisses off the club and leaves a difficult situation to reverse. The departure of Ancelotti, a coach who has always defended his performance during all these years, aggravates this internal dispute that only Xabi Alonso could change by giving the Brazilian an important role, which seems difficult due to his tactical disposition.
This confrontation is not linked to an offer that the player could have, at least at the moment. Rodrygo had assumed that he would have a star role, like Vinicius, which he understands that he has earned and worked for years and has seen how Mbappe and Bellingham have dropped him down the pecking order. He has l,st that undisputed starter or at least that's how he understands it, and that's why he thinks the best thing to do is to leave.
“Rodrygo's thinking is not to play more with Madrid,” said Felipe del Campo on the air. Neither in what remains until the end of La Liga, nor in the Club World Cup or next season. Only Xabi Alonso, who seems unlikely to be able to adapt the team to play with the four up front, would change Rodrygo's mind.
In this second period under Carlo Ancelotti, Rodrygo has played the second most games (208) for Real Madrid and only behind Fede Valverde (212) of the 231 that the team has had in total. In other words, the Brazilian has appeared in 90%, starting 69.81%. In terms of minutes count, he is 4th with 13,214'. Thibaut Courtois (13,743'), Vinicius (16,059') and Fede (16,127') lead.
