[Saba Sports News] According to Brazilian media, Rodrygo does not want to leave Real Madrid on his own initiative. The pressure has caused him to lose 4 kilograms in weight. During this year’s Club World Cup, Rodrygo only played 92 minutes, but the player still prefers to stay at the club and will only enter the transfer market if Real Madrid makes a clear decision. Rodrygo and his agents believe that in the current season, where Real Madrid has faced repeated setbacks and criticism from the public, his all-round qualities are no longer an advantage. Compared to Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo has endured more exhaustion — his physically and mentally exhausted state has been diagnosed by medical professionals, which directly affected his performance under Ancelotti. The pressure caused Rodrygo to lose four kilograms, forcing him to rely on nutritional supplements to maintain his physical condition and regain his weight. In a closed-door meeting with current national team coach Carlo Ancelotti, the winger explained the reasons for his drop in form, and both sides reached an agreement to not include him in the matches against Ecuador and Paraguay.
