Real Madrid star will ask to leave if Kylian Mbappe joins the club: Reports

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes will ask to leave the club if Kylian Mbappe's much-anticipated move materializes, as per El Nacional. The potential arrival of the French superstar has cast uncertainty over Rodrygo's future, leading him to contemplate a departure from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Rodrygo believes his playing time and role within the team would likely diminish significantly if and when Mbappe arrives in Madrid. The young Brazilian has carefully considered the potential scenario and has requested the club for the freedom to negotiate with other clubs.

Rodrygo has established himself as a key figure in Madrid's project, earning the admiration of fans through his goal-scoring abilities and contributions on the field. In 165 appearances for Madrid, the Brazilian youngster has scored 37 goals and provided 32 assists. In the 2022-23 season, Rodrygo scored 19 goals and provided 11 assists.

However, the imminent arrival of Mbappe, among the best strikers in the world, threatens to reshape the starting lineup and force Rodrygo into a secondary role.

As discussions surrounding Mbappe's transfer continue, the spotlight remains on Madrid and the consequences that would arise from securing the French forward's signature.

Financially, the move would require a substantial investment, with Mbappe and his agent reportedly demanding significant signing bonuses. Additionally, Mbappe aims to maintain his exorbitant salary, which currently stands at a remarkable €50 million net per season.

Madrid's management and head coach Carlo Ancelotti now face a delicate balancing act. While the prospect of signing Mbappe is undoubtedly enticing, they must carefully consider its implications on the squad dynamics and the future of promising talents like Rodrygo.

As the saga unfolds, fans eagerly await further developments and brace themselves for the potential departure of Rodrygo. The latter is a player who has captured their hearts with his performances on the pitch.
