According to Mundo Deportivo, the club has decided to sell Álvaro Rodríguez, who is not part of the team's plans, due to the excessive number of strikers Real Madrid will have next season.

Next season's forward lineup will be "overbooked". In addition to the French star, the front line will include Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Joselu, Brahim Díaz, Arda Güler and Endrick.
Given the situation, youth team player Alvaro Rodriguez will not have a place in the first team. The Hispanic-Uruguayan striker, who is due to turn 20 on July 14, is expected to leave Real Madrid in the near future as he is not in manager Carlo Ancelotti's plans.
Real Madrid have now put Alvaro on their transfer list. He is reportedly on the agenda of three La Liga teams; Getafe, Rayo Vallecano and newly promoted Real Valladolid. Of these, Girona are the most interested in him and have already started negotiations with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will not prevent Alvaro's departure this summer and value the young striker at close to €10 million. This figure would be significantly lower if Real Madrid were able to retain 50% ownership of the player.
Alvaro Rodriguez's potential and future development has been highly scrutinized, and despite his failure to find a place in Real Madrid's first-team, he still has the opportunity to show his strength and talent in other teams. For the young striker, leaving Real Madrid might be an important step in his career.
