Is Rodrygo Goes leaving Real Madrid for Manchester City?

After Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid on a free transfer, there has been some uncertainty along with the relief. The question that has come up the most is, what position will Mbappe play and in whose position will he play. Apart from that, whether Rodrygo Goes has to leave the club or not because of Mbappe, the talk has also come forward.

Last season, Real’s three attacking players were Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes and Jude Bellingham. These three together have brought great success to the team. That is why there were many speculations about the position of Mbappe in this team. So everyone’s eyes were on the UEFA Super Cup.

At the beginning of that match, it was heard that Mbappe was dropped from the bench, but later coach Carlo Ancelotti gave him a place in the starting eleven. That is, in the first match, the Real Madrid coach played all four attacking players together. These four people spread great light in the match. All four players contributed to Mbappe’s first goal.

Rumours about Rodrygo Goes’s departure

Despite such success in the first match, the discussion does not stop. Especially Rodrygo’s departure is the most talked about. At the beginning of this team change, however, rumours of Rodrigo’s move to Manchester City were speculated.

So far, the rumour has not spread much, but there is no chance to completely dismiss it. The Manchester club are suffering from a shortage of attacking players after Julian Alvarez left City for Atletico Madrid. In that case, Rodrigo could be seen in the City dressing room before the transfer is complete.

Statement by Rodrygo’s representative

However, Rodrygo’s representative has previously dismissed the news as baseless. He stated, “He doesn’t want to leave the club. He wants to win more titles for Real Madrid. He does not want to go to any other club. Not in Manchester City or anywhere else.”

Meanwhile, even if Rodrygo does not want to go, some of the big names of the team may have to leave the club, said former Real footballer and director Pridrag Mijatovic. He said, ‘There is an idea about the way Real Madrid is going in the last few years. Big name players have been sold there.’

He also added, ‘There is no chance to rule out the possibility of something like that happening this summer as well. Of course, that does not mean that it will happen. It also depends on the players. If a player is not feeling well and is not happy, he may want to leave the club himself.’

In the end, although no big name left the club in this change of team, Mijatovic, who won four titles for Real, is sure that something like that is going to happen next year. Most likely, some players are going through their last season at Los Blancos.
