Rodrygo’s father betrays Real Madrid

Rodrygo Goes isn’t entirely happy at Real Madrid in the shadow of Vinicius and Mbappé, who garner praise and headlines despite his teammate contributing as much as they do in attack and even more in solidarity in defense. He made this clear at the beginning of the season when he was removed from the photo of Vini, Mbappé, and Bellingham without acknowledgment for his contribution, which he believed he “deserved.” He didn’t hide his “indignation”: “I’m often filling up spaces, which bothers me a little.”

“Is anyone missing there? Put Rodrygo in. Is anyone missing on the right? Rodrygo. Is anyone missing as a ‘9’? Rodrygo. That’s all. It might bother me a little, but I’m a team player,” he complained on ESPN about not being among the 30 best in the world for the Ballon d’Or, which had been completely forgotten, even by the club, in that image in which his three teammates were singled out and he was left out.

However, his football hasn’t gone unnoticed by other coaches, including Pep Guardiola, who has long been pursuing a move to Manchester City. A goal the Catalan coach hasn’t forgotten, according to Eduardo Inda on ‘El Chiringuito’, where he revealed that the player’s father had met with representatives from the City to convince him to sign for them.

Tempting Offer

“I’ve heard that Rodrygo Goes’s father met with people from Manchester City a few weeks ago, and they’re insisting he play with Pep Guardiola. They’re offering him a left-wing role, which is what the boy and his father want,” he says, “despite the fact that those around him deny it.” In addition to playing in his position, the English club promises he’ll earn more money than at Real Madrid.

A tempting offer, especially if the player isn’t happy with his role at Real Madrid and the lack of visibility he has sharing the attack with three of the best players in the world. If he were to ask Madrid to sign for City, the Brazilian would face a major obstacle: he has a contract until 2028 and a €1 billion buyout clause. If Real Madrid refuses to negotiate, he would be unable to leave, although Florentino Pérez always opens the door to the dissatisfied, even if it means asking for an exorbitant amount.
