Reporter: Rodrigo will evaluate whether to transfer in January, and Arsenal and Manchester City still have a chance to sign him

September 5th reporter Graeme Bailey, Rodrigo is preparing to wait until January to evaluate his future to decide whether to transfer, and Manchester City and Arsenal still have a chance at that time.

According to TBRFootball, Rodrigo will reevaluate his future in Real Madrid in January next year. There had been news that the Brazilian winger might leave the team during the summer window.

The Brazilian winger was considered unrewarded in the first few weeks of Xavi Alonso's leadership in Real Madrid, which attracted the attention of some Premier League teams. Arsenal had been interested in Rodrigo because they considered strengthening their left-wing strength, but eventually chose a signing program from other positions. There are also rumors that some changes will occur in Guardiola's team, which led to Rodrigo being linked to Manchester City, but ultimately they did not push the transfer.

Now, after staying at the Bernabeu, there has been new progress on his ideas about Real Madrid and his future. After it was difficult to enter the starting lineup during this summer's Club World Cup, Rodrigo seemed to be close to leaving Real Madrid. The transfer was not finalized, probably due to his in-depth exchanges with Vinicius and Mbappe. According to the reporter, the Real Madrid star will soon reevaluate his future.

He said: "I have been talking to his team in Madrid... As far as I know, what we reported a few weeks ago - Vinicius and Mbappe encouraged him to stay, which played a big role in his decision. "

"His teammates sincerely tried to keep him, telling him: 'You see, you are a big player here and don't need to leave. 'He decided to stay until January, but we need to keep paying attention to him. "

"When he can't play, he looks unhappy, he will probably say something on social media. "

"We will watch his progress, because Ancelotti did warn him about limited playing time this summer, and even left him out of the latest Brazilian roster. "

"He will give the team to January, and if he still can't get the required playing time, he may leave the team in the January transfer window. That being said, he may also replace Alda Guerre and return to the starting lineup. "

"At the transfer deadline, the trends about Rodrigo were very calm. I think he just decided to stay, and obviously both Manchester City and Arsenal knew that. "

"If he wanted to leave at the time, Real Madrid was willing to make a deal, so the decision was completely in the hands of the players - it didn't make sense to make a offer at the time, because the players had clearly expressed their willingness to stay. "

If Arsenal and Manchester City wanted to take action in January and the winger's situation still has not improved, this provides hope for the future for both clubs. However, it is not clear whether the two clubs will invest heavily in the winter transfer window, so it remains to be seen whether they will make an offer if the opportunity arises.

So far this season, Rodrigo has made two appearances in three rounds of La Liga, one starts and one is a substitute. The Brazilian player has a total of 83 minutes of playing time and has not scored or assisted yet. He reappeared on the left wing against Real Oviedo, indicating that he might return to the role he is good at.

However, everything depends on the specific situation after the league officially restarts after the international match. With the return of the Champions League, the coming weeks and months will truly reveal Rodrigo’s position in the club’s plan and whether the transfer may be on the agenda.
