Kylian Mbappé will reportedly join Real Madrid this summer when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires. The forward’s arrival in the Spanish capital would affect attacking players, including Rodrygo, who could see their minutes reduced.
Although there’s potential that the Brazilian could head to the bench, he has no plans to leave Real Madrid. The 23-year-old is embracing the challenge of needing to compete for playing time.
Rodrygo’s entourage confirmed to SPORT that the forward takes on the challenge of competing for a position. Furthermore, he only desires to play at Real Madrid, so it’s unlikely he will leave this summer.
The reporting also reveals that he’s not afraid of the arrival of his compatriot Endrick, whom he’ll welcome with open arms, like Mbappé. He’s aware that the arrival of both will complicate his chances of being a starter.
Nonetheless, Rodrygo is excited to have them as teammates because they will enhance the attack in a season that will be tough once again, with a tight schedule featuring games for everyone, even if he may lose his starting status.
