Courtois speaks out and asks him to find a new club before the conflict explodes at Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois is not just Real Madrid's goalkeeper, he is a voice with weight in the locker room. He is a footballer who has lived historic nights and very complicated moments. Precisely because of that experience, he knows when something is not working.

In the white environment there is a shared feeling: the team needs deep changes. From the bench to the field, no one is free of responsibility, the collective performance has left doubts and the project seems to need a new boost. Courtois, as a veteran, understands that the club must make a move with new signings, possibly a new coach, and an internal renewal that will reactivate competitiveness.

Internal tension and signs of wear

The discomfort is not only sporting. In the locker room, people also perceive friction. Coexistence is always complex when the results do not follow, and in this case the differences have started to be noticed more than usual.

Álvaro Arbeloa, now with technical responsibilities, keeps a tense relationship with some players. The sporting decisions have not pleased everyone and the management of minutes has become a focus of conflict. When internal competitiveness turns into discomfort, the balance of the group starts to wobble.

Rodrygo, at the center of the debate

One of the key names in this situation is Rodrygo, the Brazilian is not going through his best moment. The lack of continuity and the strong competition in the attack have relegated him to a secondary role that he did not expect to assume. His irregular performance has not helped consolidate him as an essential piece either.

From the coaching staff there is concern. Keeping a player of his economic and media weight as a prolonged substitute can turn into a bigger problem, both in terms of salary and in the locker room. Arbeloa doesn't see him as key either in the short or in the medium term, which opens a delicate scenario that could become tense over time.

Courtois's warning

In this context, Courtois has chosen to speak clearly, not from confrontation, but from responsibility. The Belgian understands that forcing an uncomfortable situation would only make things worse. If Rodrygo is not going to have the prominence he needs, perhaps the smartest thing would be to look for an exit before the conflict explodes.

His position is not a personal attack, but a pragmatic reading of reality, sometimes, anticipating avoids greater wounds. The message is direct: it is better to make decisions now than to wait for the tension to become irreversible. Because when the locker room fractures, rebuilding it costs much more than preventing the crack.
