The 2 superstars who requested to leave Real Madrid this summer

The arrival of Xabi Alonso to the Real Madrid bench has brought about decisions that are already having unexpected effects in the white team's locker room. Two key players from the last seasons, Rodrygo Goes and Eduardo Camavinga, have formally requested their departure this summer transfer window due to the imminent loss of prominence in the new tactical structure implemented by the Basque coach.

The case of the Brazilian forward is particularly remarkable. With the rise of Franco Mastantuono, who has been appointed as the new starter in the offensive trio alongside Vinícius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo has seen his chances of starting diminish. The situation became even more complicated when he was left without minutes against Pachuca in the Club World Cup debut, while Arda Güler took a place in the starting lineup. Everything suggests that he will once again be left out in the next match against Salzburg, fueling his desire to leave in search of more playing time.

Camavinga and Rodrygo ask to leave Real Madrid

In midfield, Camavinga faces a similar situation. The Frenchman has been displaced by Alonso's choice for a midfield composed of Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Valverde, and Güler himself. The potential arrival of a new reinforcement for that area only reinforces his decision to seek a change, especially with the aim of arriving with competitive rhythm at the 2026 World Cup.

Both Rodrygo and Camavinga believe that their growth would be hindered if they remain in secondary roles, so they have already asked the club to consider possible exits. Real Madrid, meanwhile, is evaluating options without ruling out sales if suitable offers are made. The white revolution is already showing its first consequences.
