In a recent report, Mundo Deportivo mentioned that Real Madrid could cash in on Rodrygo in the summer. It has been revealed that Los Blancos could replace the Brazilian attacker with Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe at the end of this campaign.
Rodrygo’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football
Rodrygo has put in a series of impressive displays as the focal point of Carlo Ancelotti’s attack. The Brazilian sensation has banged in 13 goals and picked up seven assists in 35 matches for Los Blancos this season across all competitions.
The 23-year-old has been a reliable performer in the final third as he is averaging 2.9 shots, 1.4 key passes and 2.0 dribbles per game in La Liga. He has even been tidy with his ball distribution after making 89.9% of his attempted passes in league football (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, Ancelotti would be under no pressure to cash in on him at the end of this season.
Should Real Madrid Boss Carlo Ancelotti Let Rodrygo Go?
Rodrygo can create a yard of space for himself to get a few strikes in on-target. He can be a decent finisher in front of the opponent’s goal when he is playing with confidence on the pitch. Rodrygo has proven his worth as a valuable presence in Los Blancos’ first team over the past few years.
The Brazil international can make some inviting chances for others around him in the attacking end of the field. He is primarily a right-winger but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player or as a striker if asked to do so by his manager.
Rodrygo remains an important member of Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti’s match-day squad. However, Kylian Mbappe’s blockbuster arrival could see Los Blancos cash in on the Brazilian striker so that they can abide by the FFP regulations.
On his day, Rodrygo can be a world-class forward. However, with Mbappe’s arrival, he might struggle to earn regular playing time at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next season. Thus, it makes sense for both the player and the Madrid club to part ways with each other in the summer.
