In a shocking revelation, Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes has opened up about a crucial one-on-one conversation with Carlo Ancelotti — a moment that he says “saved his Real Madrid career” at a time when uncertainty loomed large.
🔍 The Turning Point: Rodrygo, speaking candidly in a recent interview, disclosed that during a difficult spell last season, when his form dipped and competition intensified, he felt “lost” and “undervalued.” At that moment, Ancelotti called him in privately, telling him:
> “You’re not just a winger. You’re a future leader here. Trust your talent — I believe in you.”
These words, according to Rodrygo, restored his confidence and sparked a dramatic upturn in performances, including his pivotal goals during the Champions League run.
⚠️ Under New Management: However, with Xabi Alonso now at the helm, the story has taken a twist. Sources say Alonso, while a fan of Rodrygo’s potential, has other tactical ideas, and reportedly doesn’t see Rodrygo as a starter in his current system.
💭 Rodrygo’s Response: Rodrygo is said to be frustrated by the shift and has now started to explore his options, although he remains respectful of the club. While no formal transfer request has been made, his camp is monitoring interest from the Premier League, especially Liverpool and Manchester City.
🔥 What This Means:
Rodrygo’s place at Madrid is no longer guaranteed.
A summer exit could become a real possibility if Alonso’s plans don’t involve him centrally.
Ancelotti’s faith built Rodrygo — but Alonso’s vision may push him out.
👀 Eyes now turn to Xabi Alonso’s pre-season squad, where Rodrygo’s role — or absence — will speak volumes.
Would a player like Rodrygo thrive elsewhere? Or should Madrid
rethink letting him go?
