Real Madrid and their new coach Xabi Alonso are open to Brazil forward Rodrygo leaving the club this summer. The 24-year-old made his first appearance for Madrid in 53 days in their opening Club World Cup game (a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal on June 18) but has played only 23 minutes for Alonso in their three matches since.

Arsenal are ready to make a big move. With Martinelli potentially leaving, Mikel Arteta has his eyes on Rodrygo, now sidelined at Real Madrid under new coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian has featured in just one match during the Club World Cup — and frustration is mounting.

Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid has been uncertain ever since Carlo Ancelotti overlooked the winger in a title-deciding El Clásico. The Brazilian logged zero minutes against Barcelona and then missed out on Los Blancos’ final league matches of the season due to fitness concerns.
