Alvaro Rodriguez, who spent the last season on loan at Getafe, expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid before the transfer window closes to gain regular first-team playtime. In an interview with Diario AS, he mentioned his age, 21, as a factor for needing to move. He dreams of returning to play for Real Madrid but acknowledges the need to leave first to achieve this goal. He also noted that Gonzalo Garcia was given a spot in the club World Cup instead of him, which he sees as a clear signal about his current standing in the team.

Álvaro Rodríguez, after completing a loan spell at Getafe, is under consideration for a new project away from Real Madrid. With a contract running until 2027, both the player and Real Madrid are looking for a project that guarantees his stability and continuity, allowing him to develop his potential. There is interest from several teams in acquiring the Spanish-Uruguayan forward.

Espanyol had meetings and discussions regarding the potential signing of Álvaro Rodríguez from Real Madrid, but the transfer did not materialize as both parties decided against it.
