An insight into the plans of the brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid, in the case of transfer-linked attacker Rodrygo moving on, has on Tuesday been provided.
The info comes courtesy of reliable outlet The Athletic, and confirms that Los Blancos would not seek out a replacement for the Brazilian.
Frontman Rodrygo has of course seen his name return to the headlines in Spain’s capital over recent weeks.
This comes as the 24-year-old struggles for game-time at the Club World Cup under the watch of new head coach Xabi Alonso.
A number of clubs from across the continent, in turn, are keeping a close eye on Rodrygo’s situation, with a view to a potential swoop for his signature.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are viewed as particularly keen.
And as alluded to above, should a transfer ultimately come to fruition for the talented attacker over the weeks ahead, he will be replaced by those already at the disposal of Xabi Alonso.
As per a report from The Athletic, Florentino Pérez and co. do not intend to dip into the market for a Rodrygo successor, with the likes of Brahim Díaz and summer signing Franco Mastantuono viewed as more than ready to fill the void.
