Shocking twist! Rodrygo confirms his departure from Real Madrid: 'I'm not going to lie about that'

Rodrygo is, without a doubt, one of the best wingers in the world. His talent, directness, and ability to decide important matches are beyond question. However, his last few months at Real Madrid haven't been easy at all, as they've been marked by a loss of prominence and constant debate about his future.

Rodrygo has gone from being an undisputed starter to taking on a much more secondary role in the squad. His performance during the past season was disappointing, with only 14 goals and 11 assists in more than 3,400 minutes played. These numbers, while respectable, don't meet the expectations that the board and the fans placed on him.

This lack of consistency caused his name to be at the center of all the rumors during the summer transfer window. Top-level teams like PSG, Liverpool, Bayern, and Manchester City closely followed his situation. With each passing day, it seemed more likely that he would leave Bernabéu in search of new challenges.

But in the end, against all odds, Rodrygo decided to stay. Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso conveyed their trust to him, although they warned him that his role could change depending on the formation and the needs of the locker room. Since then, number 11 has worked quietly, trying to regain his best form and show that he can still be decisive.

Rodrygo breaks his silence about what happened in the summer

After several months avoiding questions about his future, Rodrygo has broken his silence in an exclusive interview with Tomás Roncero. In it, he spoke about his return to the Brazilian national team, his physical condition, and how he is facing this new stage with Xabi Alonso. What has surprised everyone the most has been his honesty when talking about the rumors that placed him outside Real Madrid.

"There were offers, I'm not going to lie about that", Rodrygo admitted bluntly. With this statement, the forward confirmed what had been speculated for months: that his departure was really on the table. However, he wanted to clarify that, despite the interest from other clubs, he never intended to leave Bernabéu.

"I always made it clear to the club that I want to keep succeeding here, more than I already have", he added with determination. "It's a lot to have won two Champions Leagues at my age, but now I want more European Cups with this jersey." His words reflect commitment, maturity, and a strong sense of belonging to Real Madrid.

Rodrygo wants to be a starter again at Bernabéu

The interview has served to clear up any doubts about his commitment. Rodrygo is determined to regain his best level and earn a place in the starting eleven again. He knows it won't be easy, especially with the competition from Vinícius Júnior and the emergence of young talents like Endrick.

Even so, Rodrygo's message has been clear: his love for Real Madrid is above everything else. The fans have received it as a declaration of loyalty. It's proof that the footballer who dreamed of wearing white is still hungry for glory.

With Xabi Alonso on the bench, Rodrygo sees a new opportunity to reinvent himself. His versatility and ability to play on both flanks could be key in the Basque coach's system. If anything has become clear after his interview, it's that the Brazilian hasn't said his last word at Bernabéu.
