Controversy over the referee's open attack, defeat of El Clasico, change of coach, poor main player and positional complaint. Real Madrid is going through a difficult time with the 'big club' and the 'greatest club ever'.
This time, even rumors of a major striker's transfer have erupted.
The Spanish daily `Marca' reported on the 13th (local time) that Brazilian national striker Hodrigo announced his transfer. 'Two weeks ago, rumors circulated that Hodrigo wanted to leave the team. Now the situation is even worse. Hodrigu said he did not want to play for Real again, rather than simply considering leaving the team.
According to a club official, Hodrigu feels alienated by the explosive media coverage surrounding the recruitment of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. There was also a rift with Vinicius Junior,' he said.
'Marca'Hodrigu wanted to be the main character with Vinicius, but he is confined to his house with anger at the loss of his expected fame. Upcoming coach Xavi Alonso is expected to set up a team with Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius at the center. In this situation, it is questionable whether Hodrigu, whose relationship with his teammates has deteriorated noticeably, will continue to be on the team.'"
Vinicius, too, is the heart of the club. The Real club is unhappy with Vinicius's performance this year after failing to win the Ballon d'Or. His recent performance at El Clasico was also disappointing. The club's board and coaches are expecting Alonso to regain Vinicius' skills.
Then 'The future of the two Brazilian players depends on Alonso's direction. However, the club is tired of Hodrigo's constant pressure, so they are not ruling out the possibility of his transfer' Rodrigo is linked with England club Arsenal, who are looking for a left-hander.
Hodrigo, who was born in 2001 like Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), moved from Santos to Real in 2019 and has emerged as a perfect starting player since Carlo Ancelotti, Real manager, took over. Contributed to three La Liga wins and two European Champions League wins. So far, he has scored 68 goals in 267 appearances while wearing a Real uniform.

In El Clasico, whose team lost 3-4 against Barcelona on the 11th, he was included in the replacement list, but he reportedly asked not to play due to his poor condition. Hodrigo, who recently suffered from severe flu, will head to the locker room during team training on the 13th and is likely to miss the match against Mallorca on the 15th. Severe decline in morale seems to lead to physical symptoms.
The soccer media 'Score90' introduced Real's expected lineup in the 2025-2026 season, reflecting the current rumors. In the 3-4-3 formation, Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham will play the three-top, Trent Alexander Arnold and Theo Hernandez will play the two wingbacks, and Federico Valverde and Aurelien Chouameni will play in the midfield. Dani Carvajal, Raul Asensio and Dean Haesun set up a three-back, while Thibaut Courtois protects the goal.
