Real Madrid winger Rodrygo was a hot topic throughout the summer transfer window, and talk hasnt died down after a tough start to the season.
He has started just two of Los Blancos nine La Liga outings so far, with the emergence of teenager Franco Mastantuono adding to the Brazilians woes, already having been forced to the right wing to accommodate Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.
Summer move for Rodrygo appears to work for all parties
Manchester City were chief among those interested parties during the window, with the suggestion being that Pep Guardiola was a big fan of Rodrygo, ranked at no.6 in FourFourTwo's list of the best right wingers in the world right now.
There was uncertainty at that time around the future of Savinho at the Etihad Stadium, and it was felt that any money collected from that deal could go towards an 80m approach for Rodrygo, according to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo.
Neither of those mooted moves transpired, but now, according to Fichajes, Rodrygos future is up for debate once more.
The outlet states that several Premier League clubs are tracking the 24-year-old, alert to his lack of prominence at the Bernabeu.
Englands top tier is said to be appealing to Rodrygo, but publicly, the player has said that his current plan is to remain in Madrid as long as the club want him.
The Spanish site suggests that Los Blancos current plan includes a 2026 departure for Rodrygo, with some suggestion that it would represent the last chance to attract a big fee due to the 2028 expiry of his current deal.
In FourFourTwos opinion, its time for Rodrygo to establish himself as a key figure at a big club, as his talent warrants.
Vinicius and Mbappe are only months his senior, and are both unlikely to be going anywhere any time soon.
Add in the likes of youngsters Mastantuono and Arda Guler, plus competition from Brahim Diaz, and Rodrygo appears to be a player declining in influence rather than growing.
Rodrygo is valued at 80m, according to Transfermarkt. Real Madrid next face Juventus, when Champions League action returns this week.
