Rodrygo has been linked with a potential departure, and head coach Xabi Alonso made a final statement on the player's future at Real Madrid.

According to ESPN, Rodrygo could earn his first minutes of the season against Oviedo and, interestingly, they could come as a left winger. Rodrygo’s desire to play as a left-sided forward is no secret but it is claimed that he has specifically spoken with Alonso to request a move away from the right wing this season.

Xabi Alonso started Rodrygo against Real Oviedo, but after being subbed off, the Brazilian reacted very angrily.
