Rodrygo Goes’ future remains one of the hot topics at Real Madrid, with new developments unfolding almost daily. The latest twist involves Al-Nassr's growing interest, reportedly encouraged by Cristiano Ronaldo himself, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri. However, the Brazilian forward’s entourage has firmly shut down any rumors of a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Miguel Ángel Díaz confirmed on Cadena COPE that Rodrygo’s camp is not entertaining the idea of moving to the Middle East, regardless of the lucrative financial package on the table. Their stance is clear: if the Brazilian leaves Real Madrid, it will be to continue competing at the top level in European football.

His sights are still set on the Premier League, with Arsenal leading the race. Mikel Arteta remains adamant about signing him, although the Gunners are also exploring alternatives like Noni Madueke. Despite the financial pull of Saudi football, Rodrygo is not convinced from a sporting perspective, and that continues to be the decisive factor in his career planning.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso’s focus has shifted toward emerging talents like Gonzalo, Arda Güler, and Franco Mastantuono, further sidelining Rodrygo’s role in the current project. His limited participation in the Club World Cup reflects this reality.

Still, Rodrygo isn’t giving up. His resolve to fight for his place remains strong. While offers from Saudi Arabia may continue to appear, he’s not ready to turn in that direction, at least not yet.
