Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid continues to hang in the balance, but his recent attitude has earned praise from new head coach Xabi Alonso.
As reported by journalist Mario Cortegana in The Athletic, the Brazilian forward has shown good behaviour and strong character in training sessions, which Alonso has appreciated.
In fact, the manager has reportedly taken time to guide Rodrygo personally, showing him support while also pushing him to improve.
Despite these encouraging signs on the training pitch under Alonso, it must be noted that Rodrygo ended the 2024/25 season feeling frustrated about his role in the team.
Although he has said publicly that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, questions about his future are not going away. Premier League clubs, especially Arsenal, continue to monitor his situation closely.

For now, Rodrygo’s father and agent, Eric Goes, has not shown any intention to begin talks with other clubs.
According to sources, Rodrygo returned from his break with the right mindset. People within the club say Alonso has given him a lot of personal attention, mixing care with high expectations.
So much so that the coaching staff is watching him closely as the team prepares for the Club World Cup.
How Rodrygo performs in this tournament could influence the club’s plans and shape interest from abroad. If he shines, his value will go up, and the demand for his signature could grow stronger.
With Real Madrid already planning for the future, and top Premier League clubs ready to pounce, Rodrygo’s next steps, both on and off the pitch, could define his summer.
