Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso insists no decision has been made regarding Rodrygo ’s future, despite persistent transfer links to Arsenal. The Brazilian’s time in the Spanish capital has been called into question at various points this summer due to his lack of involvement at the Club World Cup.

Arsenal are reportedly confident that William Saliba will sign a new contract at the Emirates Stadium. The France international has developed into one of the best centre-backs in world football during his time at Arsenal, and he is believed to be a leading transfer target for Real Madrid.

Amid ongoing reported Arsenal transfer interest, Rodrygo was not left out of Real Madrid's starting XI for the fifth consecutive game because of any decision made over his future, insists manager Xabi Alonso.
