Real Madrid star going nowhere this summer despite Pep Guardiola interest | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes started on Wednesday night in the European Supercup  and did not play badly in their 2-0 win over Atalanta. Generally, the Spanish media have come up acronyms for the famous front threes at Barcelona and Real Madrid, but it was the ‘BMV’ on the front cover of Marca on Friday morning: Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

There was no sign of Rodrygo. He has undoubtedly been the player that most people have pointed to as the victim of Mbappe’s arrival, potentially seeing him drop out the team. Carlo Ancleotti showed this week that all four can feature, but it remains to be seen whether that will be the case.

He will be going nowhere this summer though. Despite Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admiring the player greatly, Rodrygo’s camp have told Cadena SER that he will not be leaving this summer, and does not want to win trophies anywhere else, be it City or any other club. This is backed up by Fabrizio Romano, who has told Caught Offside that he is completely focused on Real Madrid, and there are no talks with other clubs.

This comes just over 24 hours after former sporting director and club legend Predrag Mijatovic predicted major sales in the summer of 2025. Given the amount of attacking talent in the squad, it does seem as if at least one or two will see less game time than they would like, which generally leads to movement – even if it isn’t this summer.
