𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: “I, Don’t Want to Play for Xabi Alonso” – Real Madrid Star Eyes Liverpool Switch as Luis Díaz Opens Door to Barcelona Move

HIn a surprising development ahead of the 2025/26 season, Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes is reportedly unsettled at the club and is considering a summer exit.

The Brazilian attacker is believed to be dissatisfied with his projected role under incoming manager Xabi Alonso, leading to speculation about a potential move to Liverpool—especially as Luis Díaz inches closer to a transfer to Barcelona.

According to reports from Spain, Rodrygo expressed his discontent privately, allegedly stating:

“I, Rodrygo, don’t want to play for Xabi Alonso. I haven’t had the opportunity to truly show my ability.”

Rodrygo has been an essential part of Real Madrid’s recent successes in La Liga and the Champions League. However, the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the prominence of Jude Bellingham in midfield, and Vinícius Jr. cementing his spot on the left wing have limited Rodrygo’s impact in the starting lineup. Now, with Alonso reportedly planning a tactical overhaul that may sideline the 23-year-old, his frustration appears to be reaching a breaking point.

At Liverpool, meanwhile, a significant change in the forward line could be coming. Luis Díaz is increasingly linked with a move to Barcelona, and it’s believed personal terms won’t be a problem. Should Díaz leave, Liverpool would need a top-tier replacement on the wing—someone like Rodrygo.

Although this situation is still unfolding, there’s a growing sense around Anfield that the club might seize the opportunity to bring in the talented Brazilian—if the conditions and transfer fee align.

Let’s be clear: Rodrygo would be a statement signing. But losing Díaz would be a major blow.

He remains one of Liverpool’s most influential players.
