Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has shared that Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has no plans to leave the team this summer, even with Kylian Mbappe joining the club.
Rodrygo is extremely happy at Real Madrid, and there are no anticipated changes regarding his status.
People close to the player have confirmed that he intends to stay with the team and this commitment was evident when he signed a new contract until 2028, which includes a €1 billion release clause.
Recently, Rodrygo’s future has been questioned due to Mbappe’s arrival from Paris Saint-Germain.
There has been speculation that the Brazilian might lose his spot on the team or even be sold by Real Madrid. However, this is not true, as he is clearly dedicated to the club.
"I always say the same thing. I want to play with the best, and if Mbappe comes, I’m going to love playing with him. It’s not a problem for me, the problem is for the coach (laughs)," he said about Mbappe’s arrival.
On the other hand, though, if he were to leave, he would not be short of options, as many top clubs, including Liverpool, are interested in him. Despite this, Real Madrid have no intention of letting the Brazilian forward go.
In a recent interview, Rodrygo was careful with his words about his future, as he did not care much to shed light on the same. When asked if he would stay at Madrid, he said,
"Yes, well, you never know, I have a contract, but the years I have been here have been a pleasure for me. I always want to stay, but we’ll see."
His representatives, however, were quick to address the rumours about his potential departure. They denied that Rodrygo is considering leaving and clarified that he may have misspoken in the interview.
His representatives emphasised that he is fully committed to staying at Real Madrid and aims to continue achieving great things with the team.
Up until now, Rodrygo’s main competition has been Brahim Diaz, but he has always been a trusted player for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
But with Mbappe and the young talent Endrick joining the team, there are concerns that Rodrygo might struggle for playing time. If he does not get enough minutes on the pitch, he could consider leaving in search of more opportunities.
At this moment, Rodrygo is determined to stay and prove himself at Real Madrid. His recent contract extension shows his dedication to the club and his desire to be a key part of its future success.
While the competition for places may increase, Rodrygo’s commitment and talent suggest that he will continue to be an important player for Real Madrid in the years to come.
