Overview

- The 18-year-old has not played in Real Madrid’s last three matches and logged only about 13 minutes across the previous four fixtures.
- Coverage attributes his reduced role to Álvaro Arbeloa’s move to a four-man midfield, with Rodrygo’s impending return expected to tighten competition further.
- Officials from Argentina’s national team are tracking his lack of club minutes ahead of the March 27 Finalissima against Spain and the 2026 World Cup.
- Norberto Alonso publicly criticised Madrid’s handling, while separate reports note Madrid hold the player through 2031 and could consider offers near €50m, following a January loan approach from Napoli that was turned down.
