The Brazilian winger has captured attention with his stellar performances, yet finds himself at the centre of transfer chatter with the looming arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite the buzz, Rodrygo remains resolute in his commitment to the Los Blancos cause.
In a report from El Larguero, the 23-year-old talent reaffirmed his dedication to staying with Real Madrid, citing the club's ambitious project as his main motivation.
Interest from European heavyweights like Manchester United, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester City have surfaced, but Rodrygo has made it clear that his allegiance lies with the Spanish giants.
Liverpool, in particular, have shown keen interest, eyeing Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. However, Real Madrid swiftly rebuffed their ¬80 million bid, indicating their intent to retain the talented winger.
While the club remains steadfast in their stance, reports suggest that a significant offer in the range of ¬100 to ¬120 million could prompt reconsideration. Yet, for now, Rodrygo remains unfazed, embracing the potential challenge of competing with Mbappe for a starting spot.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff continue to commend Rodrygo's contributions.
Unless a truly exceptional offer materializes, Real Madrid seem poised to hold onto their promising young talent as they navigate the evolving landscape of European football.
