Real Madrid star rejects Manchester City and announces: I will stay in Madrid
The summer Mercato is entering its decisive days and European clubs are seeking to strengthen their ranks before this long and difficult season that awaits the greats of Europe.It is no secret that Manchester City wants to sign a Real Madrid star, especially after the departure of the team’s Argentine star Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, but the Real Madrid player is very clear in his desire to continue with the club of his life.According to the information received from the Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Rodrygo Goes has always been a Real Madrid fan, which is why he is really enjoying the moment he is living, although he would like to have a more important role, he is very happy to be able to play in the white shirt.“He is focused on Madrid and wants to play for Real Madrid” is what the Brazilian player’s entourage repeats. This is also the answer they are supposed to have given to Manchester City, who are said to be ready to sign him in this summer’s market.The newspaper added that Julian Alvarez’s departure to Atletico Madrid has prompted the English club to rush to find a replacement for him and the ideal deal for Guardiola is Rodrigo, but at the moment he does not want to leave the best club in the world, because he believes that he can make a place for himself in Madrid’s attack.At the moment, Rodrigo started the season with Madrid as a starter in the European Super Cup final and it is very likely that Ancelotti will use that spear in most of the matches this season, so the Brazilian’s minutes are not in danger.It is a good time for Rodrigo and his entourage to analyze the season and the importance the player has gained for the team. In this context, Manchester City may put more or less pressure on him to convince the player.Guardiola wants to give him a very important place in his team, where he leads the attack and plays more on the left wing, which is his favorite position, in addition to the position of attacking midfielder or false striker.Manchester City is reportedly targeting Real Madrid’s Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes as a potential replacement for Julian Alvarez, who has moved to Atletico Madrid. Despite City’s interest, Rodrygo is clear about his commitment to Real Madrid. According to *Defensa Central*, Rodrygo is a lifelong Madrid fan and is content with his current role at the club, even though he seeks more responsibility on the field.
Rodrygo’s entourage has reportedly communicated his desire to remain with Real Madrid to Manchester City, emphasizing that he is focused on continuing his career with Los Blancos. Pep Guardiola sees Rodrygo as an ideal fit for his system, envisioning him as a key player who could lead the attack, particularly in his preferred role on the left wing, as well as an attacking midfielder or false nine.
While Manchester City may continue to press for the Brazilian’s signature, Rodrygo appears set on staying at the Bernabéu, where he has started the season as a regular under Carlo Ancelotti. This situation suggests that, at least for now, Rodrygo is not inclined to leave Real Madrid, believing he can further establish himself in the team’s attack.
