Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso has said he is counting on Rodrygo amid links to Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. After playing a bit-part role at the Club World Cup earlier in the summer, the Brazilian continues to be linked with a Santiago Bernabeu exit before the transfer window closes.

Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso did not use Rodrygo against Osasuna, with Arsenal learning that Los Blancos will sell him this summer.
