When a player starts skipping El Clasico, you know something big is going down.

And in Rodrygo’s case, it’s more than just frustration — it’s personal.

The Brazilian forward is reportedly ready to pack his bags and call time on his Real Madrid chapter after feeling sidelined both on and off the pitch.

El Clasico Drama Sparks Questions

Rodrygo was nowhere to be seen during Madrid’s crucial 4-3 loss to Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

It wasn’t an injury.

It wasn’t squad rotation.

According to sources, he flat-out refused to play.

That decision might have cost Los Blancos more than just three points — it may have opened the door for a full-blown transfer saga this summer.

With Barca now seven points clear in LaLiga and only three games left, Madrid’s title hopes are basically toast.

But the real story is brewing off the field.

Not Happy with the New Spotlight

Rodrygo, 24, has reportedly grown frustrated with how the spotlight at Madrid has shifted.

Ever since Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé joined the club, the Brazilian says he’s felt pushed out of the picture.

He had dreams of leading the team alongside Vinícius Jr., but now he finds himself pushed to the sidelines — both figuratively and literally.

Bellingham, who arrived from Dortmund in 2023, hit the ground running and quickly became a media darling in Spain.

Mbappé, of course, came with even more hype and a monster scoring record — 38 goals this season alone.

And all that attention hasn’t sat well with Rodrygo.

Squad Shake-Ups Leave Rodrygo on the Outside

With that kind of star power, Carlo Ancelotti had to juggle a few things to keep everyone happy.

That meant tweaking his tactics — and unfortunately for Rodrygo, it meant less game time.

He was pushed out wide or left out altogether as Ancelotti began favoring a front three of Vinícius, Bellingham, and Mbappé.

While those names shine, the overall performance of the team hasn’t quite lived up to expectations.

And now, with Ancelotti taking over the Brazil national team, incoming manager Xabi Alonso will inherit a dressing room filled with talent and tension.

Rodrygo Reportedly ‘Furious’ and Isolating Himself

Rodrygo is said to be “very angry” about how things have played out.

He’s even been keeping to himself at home after turning down the chance to play in El Clasico.

This is not just a dip in form — it’s emotional.

And it sounds like he’s already mentally checked out of life at the Bernabéu.

From Star Signing to Exit Door

Rodrygo has been with Real Madrid since 2019, racking up over 250 appearances and collecting an impressive set of trophies — including two Champions League titles, three LaLigas, and a Copa del Rey.

But now it looks like he’s ready to trade white for something new.

Premier League Clubs on High Alert

Naturally, some of Europe’s biggest clubs are circling. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City have all been watching the situation closely, and if Rodrygo hits the market this summer, expect a major bidding war.

With his track record and experience, he’s a prime catch.

So… What’s Next?

Madrid may be gearing up for a new era under Xabi Alonso, but it seems Rodrygo won’t be sticking around for it.

Whether it’s the Premier League or another European heavyweight, it looks like this summer could mark the end of the Brazilian’s run at one of football’s most iconic clubs.

Let’s see where this transfer storm leads — but don’t be surprised if Rodrygo’s next jersey is red, blue, or sky blue.
