Real Madrid beat Osasuna 1-0 in the first La Liga fixture of the new season, and Rodrygo remained an unused substitute. Arsenal and Manchester City have maintained summer interest in the Brazil international. Real Madrid's position is that nothing is happening at the moment and Rodrygo is counted on. Manchester City's pursuit of Rodrygo is conditional on Savinho moving to Tottenham, and that transfer is currently stalled by Manchester City's hierarchy. Rodrygo's playing time appears uncertain, and continued bench status would likely make him unhappy and increase the chance of a move before the window closes.
Xabi Alonso on Rodrygo situation as Fabrizio Romano reports on City interest Fabrizio Romano has quoted Alonso as saying nothing is happening at the moment, as he addressed the situation after last night's game ??? Xabi Alonso: Rodrygo? Nothing is happening. I count on Rodrygo of course, it's just a game. This was my decision. pic.twitter.com/2arnkHjtTk Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 19, 2025
Meanwhile, Romano also posted the following as he maintains that Man City have an interest in Rodrygo, even if it's not currently advancing due to it also requiring the sale of Savinho ??? Zero minutes again for Rodrygo tonight as he was unused sub against Osasuna. Manchester City want Rodrygo but will only try if Savinho goes to Tottenham and that move is still not advancing, blocked by #MCFC hierarchy as of now.
