Spanish media: If Chiesa or Savignho leaves the team, Liverpool or Manchester City may introduce Rodrigo

 10:07pm, 24 August 2025

Spanish media Superdeporte reported that Real Madrid executives are currently waiting for action from the English club so that the team can open the door for Rodrigo to transfer to Manchester City or Liverpool.

Rodrigo has not made clear proposals to leave the team, and Real Madrid has not received a formal offer, but the players' hearts are no longer with Real Madrid. The Brazilian winger realized that his position in the team had become a marginal role and looked forward to solving the problem of leaving the team before closing the window. The prospect of participating in the World Cup next summer is in jeopardy, and Rodrigo has lost Ancelotti's nearly fatherly protection. Xavi Alonso was moved by the efforts of new player Mastantono, but Rodrigo did not show the kind of energy that Real Madrid coach expected. There is no dialogue between the two, and there is nothing to explain - this is the reality.

Currently, Real Madrid is closely monitoring the situation in the Premier League, especially Manchester and Liverpool. Insiders revealed: "Rodrigo's future depends on whether Savignho joins Tottenham." Once the transfer is approved by Manchester City, Real Madrid executives believe that Guardiola will contact Rodrigo again.

In fact, Guardiola called Rodrigo as early as 2024, saying that he really wanted to coach the player. Rodrigo was a regular main player under Ancelotti at that time. He played 51 games in the season when the team won the Champions League trophy, scoring 17 goals and 8 assists.

For Liverpool, Slot has signed 8 players, but only 1 in the frontcourt. At present, except Ekitic and Garkepo, the only one who can partner with Salah on the front line is Chiesa, who is likely to leave the team. No one can fill the vacancy between Dias and Nunes leaving the team for the time being. The Red Army hoped to introduce Isaac from Newcastle, but encountered great resistance. If Chiesa Jr. eventually leaves, Liverpool must find a replacement.

Therefore, Chiesa's departure, or Tottenham's final decision on Savigno, will allow Rodrigo to see the dawn at the end of the tunnel. But this requires practical action from both teams, because Real Madrid will not offer less than 90 million euros.

Until then, Rodrigo will still be a heavy presence in Real Madrid's away game against Oviedo. Even if Alonso gives him some playing time, it is more to boost his downturn than to see him as a tactical choice for the future. Ancelotti in the distance was also paying attention to him with concern. The Brazilian coach hoped to see the players regain their strength and was willing to wait until his last moment. But the premise is that Rodrigo can play again, get the pace back, enjoy the game - but none of this happens at the moment.
