The Real Madrid star has put Manchester City transfer rumors to rest in emphatic fashion

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has put an end to speculation over his future after being linked with a move to Manchester City.

The 23-year-old striker has been one of the most impressive players at the Bernabeu this season.

He has a remarkable 17 goals in 51 games in all competitions and is enjoying his time at Real Madrid.

The young striker was rewarded for his brilliance this season when he started the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

After the final whistle, Rodrygo was questioned about his future due to his ongoing links with Manchester City, but it is understood he has no desire to leave the Spanish Capital.

Reports in Spain have suggested Pep Guardiola’s City are considering a bid to bring the player to the Etihad as Los Blancos look set to sign Kylian Mbappe.

Rodrygo seems to be willing to fight any striker that comes into the club for a place in the team and believes that the Spanish capital is the best place for him at the moment.

“This week, some media said about offers, clubs, interest. I don’t know anything about it and I don’t care,” he said.

“And even if there are proposals, I have no idea about it. I stay. I am happy here. How can I leave Real Madrid?”

Ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final against Dortmund, Rodrygo’s refusal to completely rule out the prospect of leaving Real Madrid for new opportunities has fueled rumors about his future.

“Yes. Well… anything can happen,” Rodrygo told DAZN.

“I have a contract here, but I don’t know.

“The years I’ve been here have been a pleasure for me… I’ve always said I want to be at this club, but we’ll see.”

Rodrygo believes his words were taken out of context to create a story about him leaving Real Madrid.

The Brazil international can play anywhere in a front three, making him a player who would fit in with the continent’s top teams, but he responded angrily to the suggestion he could leave the club.

“There was a very annoying situation today where one of my interviews was taken completely out of context,” he said.

“To be very direct, I am very happy at Real Madrid. I’m living a dream every day and it never crosses my mind to leave the club of my life. Now we continue with the history to be made – until 15. Hala Madrid and nothing more.”
