The game of musical chairs continues in Europe. The arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid is forcing Carlo Ancelotti to review his plans. The Italian would favor a three-man attack with the Frenchman surrounded by the two Brazilians, Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior, forcing Jude Bellingham to drop down a notch. At the start of the transfer window, the first of the two Brazilians had hinted that he could leave the Casa Blanca if playing time was lacking.

“Well… Anything can happen. I have a contract here but… the years I spent here were a pleasure for me. As I said, I still want to be in this club but, let’s see what happens. Anything is possible.”he explained to DAZN. These remarks were not well received at the club, especially since they came a few days before the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. PSG had tried for a time to rush into the breach, without success.

Rodrygo does not want to leave Real Madrid

The French club was also facing very strong competition. A player of such caliber expressing doubts about his future doesn’t happen every day. Manchester City had also tested the waters, without really going any further. Except that in the meantime, the Julian Alvarez file came up on the table. Frustrated by his playing time, the Argentinian will leave the Skyblues to head to Atlético Madrid. Who will replace him then? Rodrygo of course, whose statements in the spring have not been forgotten.

Except that this matter will not go any further. The 23-year-old player does not want to leave Real Madrid, indicates AS this morning. His moods were only temporary for the Spanish daily. Ancelotti trusts him and he knows it. Manchester City sees the door close without even having tried anything.Real Madrid number 11 does not plan to travel to Manchester, even though Guardiola calls him personally to try to convince him“, the newspaper writes. The Cityzens will have to look elsewhere.
