Before the Club World Cup, Rodrygo also struggled to get playing time in the second half of last season under Carlo Ancelotti. There were reports that he wasn't motivated during training sessions.

According to reports, Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for Rodrygo. The Spanish club is interested in selling him, and Arsenal is one team that has expressed interest in signing the Brazilian winger.

Rodrygo seems to have fallen behind other players in the team's pecking order, including Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid also have other skilled players in the offensive third, such as Endrick, Arda Guler, and Franco Mastantuono.
