Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has responded to speculation surrounding his future at the club amid rumors of Kylian Mbappe’s potential arrival from PSG.
An impressive display vs Athletic Bilbao
The 23-year-old Brazilian’s impressive performance, scoring a brace in a 2-0 victory over Athletic Club, helped Real Madrid maintain their eight-point lead at the top of La Liga.
Despite establishing himself as one of Los Blancos’ key players in recent seasons, there are concerns that Rodrygo may face reduced playing time upon the arrival of superstar forward Mbappe.
Rodrygo’s reaction to Mbappe’s arrival
Mbappe is reportedly set to join the La Liga champions at the end of the season, although no official announcement has been made by the player himself.
“Mbappé to Real? I think it’s close as it’s what journalists say, I trust you guys! But I don’t know what’s going on.
“If Mbappé comes, I will be benched? It will be an happy problem for the manager. I’m only focused on Real Madrid,” he said, as per Fabrizio on X.
Meanwhile, in recent news, Sports Buddy reported that Rodrygo, valued at €100 million, has attracted interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
