Florentino Gives the Green Light to a Player’s Exit: “I Can’t Compete with Mbappé
Real Madrid’s offices are buzzing with activity as the club’s management works to finalize the squad for Carlo Ancelotti. With the transfer window nearing its end, Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are addressing several unresolved matters, one of which involves Álvaro Rodríguez.
Álvaro Rodríguez’s Exit
Álvaro Rodríguez, a young Uruguayan forward who was once seen as a potential successor to Karim Benzema, is on the verge of leaving Real Madrid. His departure seems inevitable given the recent acquisitions of high-profile players like Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, making it clear that he no longer fits into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.
Rodríguez’s time with Real Madrid Castilla is also concluded, and the club believes a move is necessary for his development. The player himself recognizes the need for change, stating, “I can’t compete with Mbappé right now; I need to play…” This sentiment is shared by both the Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and the coaching staff.
A Strategic Move for Growth
The decision to let Álvaro Rodríguez go is seen as a strategic one for all parties involved. Staying at Real Madrid could hinder his growth due to limited playing opportunities, especially with the competition from star players like Mbappé. Both Rodríguez and the club agree that moving on will provide the playing time and experience he needs to continue his development as a professional footballer.
The official announcement of Rodríguez’s departure is expected to be made in the coming hours, as Real Madrid continues to shape its squad for the upcoming season.
