Frontman Rodrygo has of course taken his place centre stage in the headlines across Europe for several weeks now.
This comes after a series of reports were forthcoming in the media, suggesting that the 24-year-old was seeking a new challenge this summer.
A whole host of clubs, in turn, have been tipped as potential landing spots for Rodrygo, chief among them Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest update on the situation to have surfaced on Saturday is anything to go by, then such suitors look set to be left disappointed.
As per a report from Marca:
'Real Madrid have asked about Rodrygo's desire and ideas for the future. The Brazilian's response has left no room for doubt. He is determined to continue wearing the white shirt despite all the rumors surrounding his future.'

'The myth' about Russell's tactics
Russell Martin struggled in the Premier League - but how much will that matter in Scotland? [PA Media] What is the "myth" about new Rangers head coach Russell Martin's tactics? Scottish coach and analyst John Walker feels there is a misconception with how people view former Swansea City and Southampton boss Martin's possession-based style, insisting it doesn't just mean the ball is just "passed about the back". Advertisement "Martin's football is possession based, but it's attacking football," Walker said on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "If he can get it forward in two passes, it's going forward in two passes. "People keep coming at me with the same thing, 'he's never played against a low block'. He's played against a low block loads because teams were scared of how his teams were playing. "If teams want to drop into a low block and fear Rangers, that suits Martin. That's what Martin wants. That's where Rangers will see a lot of goals being scored. Advertisement "The flipside of that is there'll be a high defensive line, there'll be high risk, there'll be one-v-one defending at the back. And that's where you see Martin's horrendous goals against stats." Do the Premier League struggles of Brendan Rodgers and Ange Postecoglou prove managerial performance in England and Scotland's top flights is incomparable? Large numbers of Rangers fans appear to be underwhelmed at the appointment of former player Martin as their new head coach. That is somewhat fuelled by the ex-Scotland defender's gruelling experience as a manager in England's top tier. Advertisement Southampton won just once in 16 games before sacking Martin in December, but Walker feels the Premier League is "just not a comparable metric for how successful you can be in Scotland". Despite winning the Europa League, Postecoglou, a hugely successful Celtic manager, oversaw Tottenham's worst ever Premier League season last term, with the team finishing 17th. In the 2022-23 campaign, Celtic boss Rodgers had Leicester heading towards relegation when he departed in the April. The Foxes ultimately went down. Rodgers' next move would be a return to Parkhead, where he has resumed cleaning up domestic prizes. Advertisement "Martin's Southampton experience rubs people the wrong way," said Walker. "Rodgers had good seasons in England, but he also had bad seasons. With Postecoglou, league wise, this is a terrible time at Tottenham. "But he dominated and revolutionised Scottish football for two years, so there just is no comparison."

Ex Real Madrid Star The ‘Dream Signing' For Inter Milan If Cesc Fabregas Becomes Coach
Ex Real Madrid Star The 'Dream Signing' For Inter Milan If Cesc Fabregas Becomes Coach Nico Paz would become the 'dream signing' for Inter Milan in the event that Cesc Fabregas becomes the new coach. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan are currently working to try and make Cesc Fabregas their new coach to replace Simone Inzaghi. And should the Spaniard indeed arrive, it would certainly change their plans on the pitch a lot. Nico Paz The 'Dream Signing' For Inter If Fabregas Becomes Coach COMO, ITALY – JANUARY 20: Nico Paz of Como 1907 celebrates after scoring their team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Como 1907 and Udinese Calcio at Stadio G. Sinigaglia on January 20, 2025 in Como, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan had already been eyeing up a move for Nico Paz. The former Real Madrid midfielder was a player the Nerazzurri as having the right profile to thrive under Simone Inzaghi. However, the arrival of Fabregas on the bench would add a different dimension to Inter's interest in Paz. With Fabregas at the helm, Inter wouldn't just be speculating that their coach can get the best out of Paz. Advertisement On the contrary, the former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder has already unlocked Paz's best form in a season at Como. Therefore, the Corriere report, if Fabregas does become Inter coach, the Nerazzurri would consider it their biggest 'dream' of the summer to bring in the Argentine. One way or another, the newspaper anticipate, attacking midfield will be a priority area to reinforce at if Fabregas does come in. Davide Frattesi could be on his way out no matter what. And then, players like Nicola Zalewski and Luis Henrique should suit Fabregas's football well. But having Paz continue his remarkable growth from last season would be the ultimate dream.

Ex Arsenal & Chelsea Star Fabregas At His Next Big Crossroads – Will He Take The Leap Of Faith At Inter Milan?
Ex Arsenal & Chelsea Star Fabregas At His Next Big Crossroads – Will He Take The Leap Of Faith At Inter Milan? Cesc Fabregas is at his next big crossroads, and will have to decide whether to take the leap of faith to join Inter Milan. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Cesc Fabregas has only just finished his first season coaching in Serie A. It was a season with some ups and downs for the Spaniard's young Como side. They were far from without flaws or naivety as they found their feet in the top flight. However, on balance, there is little doubt that Fabregas and Como overachieved significantly for a newly-promoted team. Cesc Fabregas At His Next Big Crossroads – Will He Take The Leap Of Faith At Inter? VERONA, ITALY – MAY 18: Cesc Fabregas, Como manager, looks on before kick off at the Serie A match between Verona and Como at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on May 18, 2025 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) Fabregas has certainly reaped the benefits of taking the risk of joining Como. First as a player, and then as their talismanic young coach. And as the Gazzetta note, Cesc Fabregas has always been a precocious overachiever. Ever since he became a key player for Arsenal at the age of sixteen. Advertisement Now, the 38-year-old will need to decide whether the right next step would be to take over at one of Italy's biggest and most historic clubs. Inter will certainly offer Fabregas an enticing project. And the chance to shine on the very biggest stage. However, on the other hand, the risks would be obvious. If Fabregas leaves Como after just one season, he could struggle to adjust, and seriously derail what has been extremely positive momentum so far.
