A new chapter has begun at Real Madrid, with Xabi Alonso officially taking charge as head coach. The Tolosa-born tactician led his first training session on Monday, although several players were absent due to international duty. Among those present was Rodrygo, who has been the subject of recent transfer speculation.

Despite the rumors surrounding a possible exit this summer, Rodrygo has already informed the club of his desire to stay. The arrival of Xabi Alonso appears to have reignited his enthusiasm, putting to rest any lingering doubts about his future.

The Brazilian forward, who has previously worked under multiple systems, seems pleased with Alonso's approach. He shared a series of photos from training on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, simply captioned: “Happy.”

While the summer transfer window remains open and unpredictable, both Rodrygo and Real Madrid appear aligned in their plans. His public message suggests a renewed sense of purpose — one that could flourish under Alonso’s guidance.

Rodrygo, under contract until June 30, 2028, with a massive €1 billion release clause, is determined to solidify his place in the squad. At 24, he’s aiming to thrive in this new project and prove his value once more in the white shirt.
