Rodrygo’s request to Xabi Alonso before the World Cup, a radical change in his future
As Xabi Alonso prepares for his first major challenge as Real Madrid’s head coach — the FIFA Club World Cup — several key decisions loom. But one situation seems to be stabilizing: the future of Rodrygo Goes.
After weeks of speculation linking the Brazilian to a possible exit, Rodrygo has delivered a decisive message to his new manager. And it changes everything.
🗣️ “Míster, I Want to Play — Always”
Although Xabi Alonso admitted during his first press conference that he had not yet spoken directly to Rodrygo, he made his admiration clear:
“Rodrygo is a spectacular player — we will need him.”
Behind the scenes, however, the first conversation has already taken place. And it was Rodrygo who took the initiative to make his intentions known.
“Míster, I want to play always, and I’m going to prove it,”
was the powerful message from Rodrygo during a recent phone call with the new manager.
🔄 From Exit Rumors to Full Commitment
Not long ago, Rodrygo’s name was floating on the transfer market, especially with Real Madrid reshaping its attacking lineup to include Kylian Mbappé and Endrick. But now, the 23-year-old winger has done a full 180.
He has communicated to both the club and Alonso that he’s staying, and more importantly, that he’s ready to fight for his place in the starting XI.
🎯 Eyes on the Club World Cup
With Real Madrid preparing for the Club World Cup in the United States, Rodrygo sees this as the perfect stage to silence the noise. He wants his game — not headlines — to do the talking.
The Brazilian is focused on proving his worth through goals, assists, and relentless performances, ensuring that Xabi Alonso faces a “good problem” when it comes to picking his attacking lineup.

Rodrygo’s message is not just about playing time — it’s a statement of intent. He’s determined to write the next chapter of his Madrid story, and he’s made it clear that he’s not going anywhere.
As Real Madrid gears up for a new era, Rodrygo is all-in — and ready to prove that he belongs at the very heart of it.
