Xabi Alonso took over as the Real Madrid manager after Carlo Ancelotti parted ways with the club after the 2024-25 season. The Italian, now in charge of Brazil, is the most successful manager in Los Blancos history.

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has broken his silence on Rodrygo Goes, just as the Brazilian forward finds himself at the heart of summer transfer buzz. With Arsenal circling and PSG keeping tabs reportedly, Rodrygo's future at the Bernabeu is suddenly a hot topic — and Alonso’s comments have only added more fuel to the fire.

Real Madrid and their new coach Xabi Alonso are open to Brazil forward Rodrygo leaving the club this summer. The 24-year-old made his first appearance for Madrid in 53 days in their opening Club World Cup game (a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal on June 18) but has played only 23 minutes for Alonso in their three matches since.
