In the semi-finals of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid lost to Paris Saint-Germain 4 goals. After the game, Vinicius and Mbappe were deeply involved in a public opinion storm. Modric and Vosques ushered in a farewell battle for the White Army. Rodrigo, who sat on the bench, might also leave the team.

The panacea for the four-back system, the victim of the three central defenders' test,

Since joining Real Madrid, Rodrigo has been a marginal figure in the team's main lineup. He was not the absolute main player before the 2023/24 season (before Benzema left the team), and he has never been able to appear in the left winger position where he is good at from beginning to end.

In the 442 structure advocated by Ancelotti, Rodrigo joined forces with Vinicius to bring the team a double championship (2023/24 season). The 352 formation brought by Alonso does not have a winger configuration, and requires the two forwards to support each other and have outstanding confrontation and large-scale coverage. For this reason, he promoted the elite Gonzalo Garcia, which is equivalent to giving Rodrigo an expulsion order.

could not play the main force and was unwilling to be a substitute, so Rodrigo became a victim of Alonso's new policy.

Four old customers, a new buyer

There are endless teams seeking to buy Rodrigo in the past two seasons. Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain all favor this Champions League expert with a big heart. The giant club that recently joined the "Chronicle" is Bayern Munich. Musiara's accidental injury prompted the Bundesliga giants to make a decision to compete for Rodrigo.

In Bayern's existing structure, Olisse can pull the edge to attack, and the No. 9 space left by Kane after retreating to the midfield needs a shooter to fill it, and Rodrigo is undoubtedly the right candidate. While seeking to buy Rodrigo, Bayern is also competing for Luis Dias. The Colombians have developed the right attributes for both sides under Slot and can be regarded as a substitute for Rodrigo.
