The one thing a club does not need before the Champions League final is to raise the question of the departure of one of the most important players. That’s what happened with Rodrygo, who got himself in trouble by making statements in two separate interviews. Those two assertions raised the dust so much, that even the third one, in which he essentially said that he had no intention of leaving Madrid, did not help.Don Carlo: ‘I have no style’The Brazilian first said in an interview with GQ Hype before the final that his team had already knocked out the best team on the planet – Manchester City in the quarter-finals, which was immediately linked to the possibility of him ending up at the Etihad in the summer.”Honestly, we knew they were better. For me, they are the best team in the world, the one that plays the best football. I think that the toughest rival is gone, but that does not mean that we will easily win the final. It was very difficult against Bayern in the semi-finals, it will be very difficult against Borussia. They say Real never lose a final, I hope it will be like that again,” said Rodrygo.Speaking to DAZN, he only further complicated the situation by talking about the upcoming transfer window.”Anything can happen. I have a contract here, the years I spent here were a pleasure. As I said, I always want to be at this club, but we’ll see,” Rodrygo claimed.Rodrygo: “Manchester City? To be honest, we knew they were better. For me it is the best team in the world, the one that plays the best football.” [@GQSpain] pic.twitter.com/AurxEqbClr— City Chief (@City_Chief) May 30, 2024 He explained everything to some extent in an interview with Placar TV, although the previous two interviews have already appeared in the media.”Of course I want to stay here for many years, I want to be here while I feel that I am helping and that I am important to the team. From the moment I see that I am not important, I may look elsewhere. I didn’t think about it. I have always dreamed of being here, this has always been my favorite club, I am fulfilling my dream. As long as I’m important to the team, I want to stay here,” said the Brazilian.##NAJAVA_MECA_8136613##This was the reason the respected Marca created an article, stating that the Cityzens’ management and coach will wait to see what happens with the 23-year-old forward. The fact that Kylian Mbappe will join Los Blancos, could affect the redistribution of positions in Real’s offensive line. Those whose roles and minutes become reduced could be dissatisfied. It’s simply how football works. In Madrid, they feel that City could be interested in Rodrygo, but there are no reactions at the moment. The focus is exclusively on the final in London, and only after that will concrete discussions with the players follow. Last November, Rodrygo signed a new contract until June 2028, so, everything will depend on the plans of the Royal Club.
