As Rodrygo Goes continues to weigh up his sporting future, the Brazilian forward has already given a subtle hint that big changes could be coming in the 2025-26 season. One major clue? He’s officially ended his partnership with Nike and is now wearing boots from their main rival—Adidas.

Rodrygo’s boot saga has been ongoing since the 2024-25 season, when he began experimenting with different footwear, ditching his usual Nike cleats for a few games. At one point, rumors swirled that he had signed with Puma, though his absence from recent Real Madrid matches left everything unclear. Now, it’s confirmed: he’s joined the brand that’s been closely tied to Real Madrid for over two decades, potentially a signal of his desire to stay at the club.

Still, his future remains uncertain. Despite his intentions to remain a key part of the squad, the Club World Cup made one thing very clear: Xabi Alonso didn’t see him as a first-choice player. With preseason underway, Rodrygo hopes to change that perception and prove his worth all over again.
