Rodrygo was one of the most criticized players for his performance in the Copa del Rey final. Beyond the footballing aspect, he showed a lack of attitude on the pitch that was visible in his demeanor. This situation may have him on the verge of leaving Real Madrid.

The Brazilian still has the trust of Carlo Ancelotti, who has proven capable of making tactical adjustments to keep him in the starting lineup. However, with the possible departure of the coach from the bench, Florentino Pérez may ultimately decide his future for next season. Adding to that, the club’s financial need to raise funds for summer reinforcements puts extra pressure on the situation.

Rodrygo, the Weakest Link Among the Stars

Rodrygo's body language in recent games could have another explanation. According to Diario AS, Vinícius Júnior has a deal with Real Madrid to extend his contract until 2030. In addition, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé are recent signings who have delivered strong results both on and off the pitch. This leaves the Brazilian as the weakest link among the so-called "Fantastic Four."

A team cannot rely solely on a strong attacking line, especially when players like Rodrygo experience a drop in form. The winger has scored just one goal in 21 matches this season, marking a likely decline in numbers for the second consecutive year.

A Golden Opportunity to Cash In

For Los Blancos, generating income to strengthen other areas of the squad is a priority. A player under contract until 2028, who could bring in millions thanks to interest from Saudi Arabian clubs or Liverpool, may be too tempting for Florentino to ignore.
