Rodrygo Affirms Madrid Stay Amid Chelsea, Arsenal Links

Speculation around Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid has grown, with both Arsenal and Chelsea reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian forward. Despite this, Rodrygo has publicly affirmed his happiness at the club after his first training session under new manager Xabi Alonso, signaling a desire to remain. Any transfer would require Rodrygo to actively request a move, but both Alonso and Real Madrid sources have emphasized his value to the squad. Rodrygo plans to discuss his preferred playing position with Alonso, though competition from Vinicius Jr. on the left wing remains a challenge. Arsenal have since shifted their main transfer focus to other targets, making a move for Rodrygo this summer unlikely. Meanwhile, former Madrid midfielder Guti has praised the club's young talent and new signings.
