Manchester City aim to take advantage of Kylian Mbappe’s expected move to Real Madrid by presenting Rodrygo with an opportunity to leave the Spanish club.
Paraphrase: City is reportedly interested in enticing the Brazilian forward from Madrid this summer, as Mbappe’s imminent transfer to Madrid could potentially displace him. Despite this, Madrid is currently unconcerned about the 23-year-old’s future. Speculation surrounding the former Santos player’s future has intensified with Mbappe’s impending move. While Rodrygo expressed his desire to stay at Madrid long-term, he indicated openness to a move if he loses his place in Ancelotti’s lineup. He recently extended his contract with Madrid until 2028 and remains a crucial player under Ancelotti, contributing 17 goals in 50 games to their recent La Liga victory and Champions League final appearance. Rodrygo aims to secure the Champions League trophy this weekend against Borussia Dortmund, but his future role in the team, especially with Mbappe’s arrival, is uncertain.
