Rodrygo Addresses Injury Recovery and Reaffirms Loyalty to Real Madrid Amid Speculation

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo have been in several talks of exit from the Spanish Capital. In recent weeks, his absence since the UCL exit has been speculated to lead to his transfer talks. 

Addressing the rumours and confirming him missing out on the game due to injury, Rodrygo shared an update on his Instagram story. Moreover, the 24-year-old has also given his verdict on the talks in the market of his move following a rough week. 

‘Stop Creating Things’ – Rodrygo Addressing The Recent Rumours Of His Exit Talks 

Rodrygo has shut down the talks of him not wanting to play for Real earlier this week. Following his reported strain, the Brazilian winger posted on social media, captioning his story as “Thanks for all the messages and concerns. I’ll be back soon. Stop creating things.”

Arsenal was heavily linked to Rodrygo following his rumours. It is safe to say, following the update he has provided, the talk of him moving away could be quiet for now. Moreover, with the Club World Cup lined up under new manager Xabi Alonso, it will be interesting to see how things move for Rodrygo following his recovery.

Discussing the current situations with Rodrygo and Real Madrid, ESPN journalist Alex Kirkland was still affirm on that the Brazilian could leave in summer. Speaking on his opinion on the matters, the journalist in his report mentioned:

“For the second summer in a row, Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid is in doubt — but for very different reasons. Twelve months ago, the presumption was that Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu meant a likely departure for the Brazil forward. Mbappé would replace Rodrygo in Carlo Ancelotti’s front two — alongside Vinicius Junior — and the Brazilian would leave, rather than accept a reduced role.”

Real Madrid had a stumbling season overall as their players also struggled individually. Looking out of ideas at times, stars like Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham have also drifted away.
