In a dramatic twist ahead of the 2025/26 season, Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes is reportedly unsettled at the BernabΓ©u and is open to leaving the club this summer. The Brazilian forward is said to be unhappy with his role under incoming manager Xabi Alonso, sparking rumours of a sensational move to Liverpool—especially as Luis DΓaz is now seriously considering a transfer to Barcelona.
According to sources in Spain, Rodrygo made a bold statement behind closed doors:
“I, Rodrygo, don’t want to play for Xabi Alonso. I have not been given time to show my talent.”
Rodrygo has been a key figure for Madrid in recent seasons, playing crucial roles in La Liga and Champions League campaigns. But the arrival of Kylian MbappΓ©, combined with Jude Bellingham’s central role and VinΓcius Jr.’s dominance on the left wing, has squeezed Rodrygo’s influence on the starting XI. And with Xabi Alonso reportedly planning tactical changes that don’t prioritise the 23-year-old, frustration is boiling over.
Meanwhile, at Anfield, Liverpool could be preparing for a major shakeup in attack. Colombian star Luis DΓaz is increasingly linked with a dream move to Barcelona, with personal terms reportedly not an issue. DΓaz’s departure would leave a major void on Liverpool’s left wing—but Rodrygo could be the perfect high-profile replacement.
This is a developing story, but there’s a growing feeling inside Anfield that the Reds could land a generational talent in Rodrygo—if the price is right and DΓaz does make the switch to Spain.
And let’s be honest—Rodrygo would be a blockbuster signing, but losing DΓaz hurts.
He’s one of our best players. π
