Real Madrid fans call for a swap with Atlético: 'Rodrygo in exchange for...'

After the classic, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid are already thinking about the future. Xabi Alonso and Simeone know that what happened today means nothing and that there is still a lot of competition ahead. Beyond the strictly sporting aspect, both fanbases have started to speculate about unusual transfer moves.

Perhaps because of the tension of the classic, or simply due to the eternal debate between the capital's neighbors, an eye-catching proposal has emerged.  Several Real Madrid fans have started to call for a swap with Atlético that could create a lot of buzz in the city.

Rodrygo's role in question

One of the names singled out in recent months has been Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian, despite once being considered one of the jewels of Madridist future, has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter. He has had great moments, such as his decisive goals in Champions, but also long periods of inconsistency.

His lack of consistency has led part of the fanbase to question whether his future at Real Madrid is truly secure. Florentino Pérez has always protected him, but the demands from the stands and the media noise are growing. Many believe that his departure would open the door to strengthening the attack with a different profile.

Rodrygo for Julián Álvarez, Real Madrid's dream

The most repeated proposal among the white supporters on social media is a direct swap: Rodrygo for Julián Álvarez. The Argentine, a star at Atlético de Madrid, has won over his fans with his goal-scoring ability, mobility, and competitive character. Seeing him in white would mark a historic shift in the rivalry between the two clubs.

The idea excites many because it would allow Xabi Alonso to form a fearsome front line. Mbappé could move to the wing and Julián Álvarez would take the center forward role, creating a world-class attacking partnership. For the fans, it would be the finishing touch to the new project Florentino Pérez wants to solidify.

An almost impossible swap

Beyond the noise, the truth is that a deal of this magnitude seems almost impossible. Rodrygo would not be willing to swap Bernabéu for Metropolitano, a decision that would mean a personal and sporting earthquake. At the same time, everything suggests that Julián Álvarez is looking more toward Barça than toward Real Madrid.

The debate, however, is on. Rodrygo Goes's future remains a question mark and the fans' interest in Julián Álvarez reflects the ongoing desire to strengthen a team that never settles. Meanwhile, Florentino and Xabi will decide what to do with an attack that is already one of the most feared on the planet.
