Rodrygo Breaks the Silence With Goal and Message

The friendly that Real Madrid played on Tuesday in Innsbruck against WGS Tirol was far from just another match for Rodrygo Goes. After a summer marked by speculation about his future—and with a start on the bench that many interpreted as a message from Xabi Alonso—the Brazilian entered the pitch in the 60th minute and made the most of his chance.

From a Kylian Mbappé assist, Rodrygo netted his first goal in the white shirt since February, making a statement at a key moment. But the real headline came afterward, when he posted several photos from the match on social media with the caption “Let’s start 25/26” along with a white heart emoji, widely interpreted as a sign he plans to stay at the club.

The “Suitors” Who Keep Calling

Despite his apparent commitment to Real Madrid, Rodrygo’s name has been strongly linked to the transfer market. Manchester City, Tottenham, and other Premier League clubs have shown interest in securing his services, especially after a season in which he was not always an undisputed starter. The Brazilian’s quality and versatility make him an attractive target for any side looking to strengthen its attack.

A White Future… For Now

With a current contract in place and an important role in the squad, Rodrygo seems determined to compete and earn his spot in the forward line alongside Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. However, in football, things can change quickly, and a massive offer could reopen the debate. 

For now, his goal and his message help cool the rumors and bring some calm back to Madridismo.
