Real Madrid Star Rodrygo Makes Decision On Future
Real Madrid star Rodrygo appears to have made a decision on his future amid the arrival of new head ... More coach Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid star Rodrygo appears to have made a decision on his future amid the arrival of new head coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian, who landed in the Spanish capital from Santos upon turning 18 in 2019, didn't end the 2024/2025 season in the best of fashions as his club went without major silverware. As Rodrygo lost his place in the starting line up to Arda Guler, Radio MARCA reported that he didn't want to play for Los Blancos again. When Guler started El Clasico, and then-manager Carlo Ancelotti brought on Victor Munoz instead of Rodrygo as Madrid looked to equalize FC Barcelona in an 4-3 loss that pretty much saw the visitors cede the La Liga title in Montjuic, it seemed like the end was night for the number 11. Recent weeks have seen him linked with a potential transfer to Arsenal, while there have been constant rumors of becoming a protagonist on Manchester City's frontline ever since Madrid fans blasted him for praising Pep Guardiola's team in a poorly thought out interview in 2024. Though there doesn't seem to have been a fallout between Ancelotti and Rodrygo, the Italian taking up the reins for the forward's national team has meant a changing of the guard in that Xabi Alonso now mans Los Blancos' dugout. A video of Alonso running instructions past Rodrygo on the training ground has already done the rounds on social media, and the player himself took to Instagram by posting pictures of himself preparing for the Club World Cup with the simple caption: 'HAPPY' SPORT reports that the 'tables have turned' for Rodrygo, who was been convinced to stay at Madrid and 'try to be important in the team' which could above all mean taking back his spot in an attacking trident completed by Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe. Ultimately, however, Rodrygo's Real Madrid future might not be in his hands. With his future already threatened by Guler, we also must consider the expected arrival of River Plater wonderkid Franco Mastantuono, who should cross the Atlantic to join Alonso's squad after the Club World Cup.

Leroy Sané in Istanbul for Galatasaray talks as Bayern contract expires
ISTANBUL (AP) — Germany winger Leroy Sané is in Turkey for talks with Galatasaray about signing as a free agent when his Bayern Munich contract expires. The Turkish league champion confirmed on social media late Wednesday that Sané had arrived in Istanbul for negotiations. Sané is set to leave Bayern when his contract expires at the end of the month after talks on a possible extension dragged on through the season without a resolution, even as Bayern reached agreements on new contracts with teammates like Jamal Musiala and Joshua Kimmich. That will end a five-year stay with Bayern, which signed Sané in 2020 for a reported fee of just under 50 million euros (then $56.3 million) after a lengthy pursuit of the then-Manchester City player. During his time in Munich, he's won the Bundesliga four times, but has faced criticism in recent seasons for a perceived lack of consistency, especially in European games. Sané scored 13 times in 45 games across all competitions for Bayern this season but only one of those goals came in the Champions League. ___
