The Castilla striker has won over the first team coach and it is the fourth time Rodriguez has been included in the squad. In fact, he ended up playing 22 minutes of the last 32 victory over Cacereno in the Copa del Rey.
Carlo Ancelotti has a lot of confidence in the 18 year-old attacker. This season, he has played 15 matches and scored five goals for Castilla.
According to 'AS', Real Madrid are thinking of promoting him to the first team for the 2023-24 campaign. The plan is for Benzema to be the main man up front and for Alvaro Rodriguez to replace him when he needs to rest or is injured.
Mariano will leave in the summer as his contract expires on 30th June. Alvaro Rodriguez, nicknamed 'The Bull', come be the man to take that spot.
In the press conference prior to the Osasuna meeting, Carlo Ancelotti praised the academty player and explained why he likes him so much: Alvaro Rodriguez is doing things well. He was in the South American Under 20 Championship and that is why he was not in the last few squad lists, but now he's back. He's a different type of player: tall and well built."
Alvaro Rodriguez is 1.93 metres tall and is working to nail down a place at Real Madrid. It seems like Raul could soon lose this young talent if it is confirmed that he will make the step up to the first team for next season.
