Rodrygo Decides Amid Interest From Tottenham and Liverpool

<p>Rodrygo has decided he wants to stay put at Real Madrid and is determined to show Xabi Alonso he can be a genuine force at the Bernabeu once again.</p>



<p>At the beginning of last season, Rodrygo was viewed as one of Madrid’s untouchable assets having helped the club win 13 pieces of silverware across his stay in the Spanish capital.</p>



<p>But Rodrygo increasingly found himself in the shadows and on the periphery of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans as the 2024/25 campaign wore on, with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior taking centre stage.</p>



<p>Madrid bosses had reportedly grown concerned over Rodrygo’s approach to training and rumors and gossip began to swirl over the Brazilian’s future heading into the summer transfer window.</p>



<p>There has been strong interest from the Premier League and Arsenal were the first to make enquiries over a proposed move for the 24-year-old forward back in May.</p>



<p> Arsenal subsequently dropped their pursuit to focus on other targets, namely Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze, talk surrounding a proposed move to England remained – with both Liverpool and Tottenham keeping close tabs.</p>



<p>However, Rodrygo is now ‘banking on staying’ with Madrid, while earning Alonso’s trust and convincing the Spaniard that he fits perfectly into the new system.</p>



<p>The report claims ‘there is no sign of a move away’ and ‘there have been no significant offers’ from potential suitors which would tempt Madrid into doing business.</p>



<p>The Brazil international will return to Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex ‘recharged’ today, fully committed to turning his fortunes around ahead of the new season.</p>
