Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso said that it was his decision to leave Rodrygo without minutes in the club's 1-0 win over Osasuna at the Bernabéu on Tuesday amid transfer links to Premier League clubs.

Xabi Alonso decided to start Brahim Diaz in the right wing position against Osasuna this week and brought on Franco Mastantuono to replace Diaz in the second half. Rodrygo did not come off the bench, and rumors of his departure continue as the summer transfer window closes in less than 10 days.

Real Madrid are willing to sell Rodrygo after Xabi Alonso snubbed him against Osasuna, claims a source, as Arsenal learn when the Brazilian star would make a final decision as the Gunners search for a replacement for the injured Kai Havertz.
