Rodrygo Wants to Leave Real Madrid After Losing His Spot Since Mbappé Joined
It was bound to happen eventually—Real Madrid’s star-studded squad is beginning to feel the pressure of change. Since Kylian Mbappé’s high-profile arrival, the club’s attacking lineup has been shaken, and one of their own may be heading for the exit.
Rodrygo, the talented Brazilian winger who has played a key role in Madrid’s recent successes, is reportedly unhappy with his current situation. His minutes have dropped significantly, and it’s becoming clear that the club’s tactical focus is shifting. With Mbappé now leading the line and Jude Bellingham thriving just behind him, Rodrygo has found himself on the sidelines more often than he’d like.
The changes haven’t just affected his time on the pitch. Reports suggest that the chemistry in the locker room is also being tested. There’s talk of a growing distance between Rodrygo and his fellow Brazilian Vinícius Júnior, which has only fueled speculation about a possible move. Rodrygo’s frustration is understandable. He’s spent years proving his worth at the Bernabéu, delivering big performances on major nights. But with the team being rebuilt around newer stars, it seems his role is no longer a priority. That reality is pushing him to consider his options.
Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester City, are believed to be monitoring the situation closely. With his talent and experience, Rodrygo would be a valuable addition to any top European side. For Real Madrid, this is a reminder of how tricky it can be to balance ambition with stability. Bringing in a player like Mbappé was always going to shake things up—but it may also cost them one of their own.

Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to be at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Saturday, June 28, to watch the President Federation Cup final between Kwara United and Abakaliki FC.
The match presents a scouting opportunity for Chelle as he continues his search for fresh talent ahead of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN), which is exclusive to players active in their home leagues.
Last month, the Malian coach included 10 home-based players in Nigeria’s squad for the Unity Cup in London, showing his growing interest in the local scene. Nigeria has been drawn into Group D alongside Congo, Sudan, and Equatorial Guinea for the upcoming CHAN, which will take place in August across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized due to a severe bout of gastroenteritis. The club confirmed the news in a statement released on Thursday, noting that the French captain was taken in for medical tests after his condition worsened.
Because of this, Mbappe will be unavailable for Real Madrid’s upcoming FIFA Club World Cup clash against Pachuca on Sunday. He also missed their 1-1 draw with Al Hilal earlier in the week. At 26, the former PSG star will be aiming to bounce back quickly as he looks to return to action at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in the U.S.
