TA: No one still offers Rodrigo; Vinicius is extremely dissatisfied with being thrown into the bench suddenly

Hupu, August 25th, TheAthleticUK Real Madrid team wrote the team's weekly report.

Rumors about Ceballos returning to his old club Real Betis (from where Real Madrid signed him in 2017) are rampant, and the 29-year-old midfielder himself has also liked several posts on social media about the possibility of his return.

Last week, Betis was on the stance that they considered the deal, but a transfer was nearly impossible due to financial reasons.

Another person familiar with the matter (like all sources mentioned in this article, who chose to remain anonymous because he did not receive a comment permission) said Celeros wanted to leave, but because of Real Madrid's offer (his contract expires in 2027), he was not very hopeful about the success or failure of the transfer.

However, on Sunday night, the player posted a photo of himself in the 3-0 victory over Oviedo that night, with the caption "The Last Dance".

Last summer, Real Madrid offered a €20 million asking price for Sebalos, who earned about €4.5 million after tax per season. If the transfer is successful, he is more inclined to stay in Spain, although Marseille has also expressed interest.

As for Rodrigo...well, he deserves to tell his story in a chapter.

Rodrigo was completely out of the La Liga opening match against Osasuna last Tuesday, and speculation about his future destination further increased last week.

So it was somewhat surprising when Alonso included him in the starting lineup against Oviedo and played on the left winger. TheAthletic reported in June that it was Rodrigo who was preparing to beg Alonso to let him kick the left.

Rodrigo ended in the 63rd minute, when Real Madrid led 1-0. Although Alonso praised his performance and said he "played a good goal", he was obviously angry at the substitution.

In fact, Rodrigo directed agents Pini Zahavi and Kia Horabchin to find new places for him this summer, and his private team insisted he wanted to stay at Real Madrid.

The move clearly shows that at least the players have carefully considered the possibility of leaving, but the impression left by those clubs that expressed interest is that Rodrigo is still uncertain about leaving the Spanish capital.

With the transfer window closed next Monday, we will finally see this week whether these explorations will lead to the end result or whether Alonso's latest choice will affect the player's thinking, who told teammates earlier this summer that he was upset about his playing time.

What else did we see from Sunday's game?

saw a lot because Alonso was making some bold moves.

His latest move on Sunday was to put Vinicius on the bench, a decision that made the player himself very dissatisfied. Sources in the Brazilian camp said he did not expect to be a substitute, and Alonso did not talk to him about it before the game.

Alexander Arnold was also sitting on the bench, and Danny Carvajal served as the right back. The 33-year-old returned from an ACL injury at the end of last season and sources around him predict that although Alexander Arnold has joined, he will still have a long-term position in Alonso's starting lineup.
