The arrival of Kylian Mbappe and his combination with Vinicius Jr in the final third was thought to be the end of the road for Rodrygo Goes at Real Madrid.
After all, the youngster never showed a spark playing on the right flank which was the only available position in the final third this season.
Against all odds, the youngster has made a strong start to the campaign and has three goals and an assist to his name already despite making just six starts.
Despite repeatedly affirming his objective to succeed at Real Madrid, the youngster has constantly been linked with a move away from the club with parties like Manchester City and Liverpool reportedly interested.
Clarity on the situation
In a recent update, reliable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano provided a comprehensive update on Rodrygo’s situation and added weight to the topic of his continuity in Spain.
To begin with, the journalist addressed the rumours linking the Brazilian to Manchester City last summer and clarified that the player never considered a move to England in any capacity and that he is focused on Carlo Ancelotti’s project.
He added that there is no weight to the rumours around the youngster in the international break as well, stating that all word was false and that the player desires only to succeed at the Spanish capital.
The 23-year-old extended his contract with Los Blancos just one year ago because he is clear that he wants to defend their crest. He wants to succeed at Real Madrid at any cost and wishes to feel like an important player there.
Finally, Romano added that while it is impossible to predict the future, Rodrygo is firm on his stance as of today and he does not intend to even consider moving out to a new club.
