Rodrygo admitted that he is still hoping for the prospect of working side by side with Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid in the future.
Rodrygo wants to play alongside Mbappe
The contract issue between Mbappe and PSG has been a topic of particular interest in the past two years. Last year, the French striker decided to extend his contract with PSG at the last minute, instead of joining Real Madrid as rumored.
This year, Mbappe refused to extend his contract with PSG so he could leave for free next summer. Fans believe that Mbappe is carefully preparing for the prospect of playing for Real Madrid next season.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti refused to mention the possibility of Mbappe joining Real. But the Real player did not hide his desire to work side by side with the French striker in the future. Recently, striker Rodrygo admitted that he wants to pair up with Mbappe.
AS quoted Rodrygo’s statement: “Personally, I and Real players always look forward to playing with the best players, not just Mbappe. He is an excellent striker.
And I’m not sure about the possibility of Mbappe joining Real Madrid or not. This information must be asked by the club president or coach Ancelotti to get an accurate answer.”
Rodrygo also shared about the playing position at the club: “Things are quite complicated, sometimes we discuss one issue but other information appears. The coach knows I don’t like playing number 9, but I can still play in this role.
I can do that because I want to contribute to the team. I also play in this position because I trust Carletto. Coach knows this and there is no problem!”
