Rodrygo addresses speculation regarding future at Real Madrid amid Saudi Arabia rumours

Since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Madrid this past summer, Rodrygo has been frequently mentioned in transfer rumors, with speculation rising recently as he was suggested as a potential replacement for Neymar at Al Hilal.

Al Hilal are in search of a high-profile player to replace Neymar, whose contract was terminated ahead of his free transfer to Santos. Reports have indicated that Rodrygo is among the top targets for the club, along with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Asked about the speculation, Rodrygo was quick to dismiss any thoughts of a summer move away from Madrid.

"I don't know much about offers, that's up to my father, who is my agent," he told the media before Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Manchester City. "Honestly."

He added: "I'm very happy here, I want to stay for many years and I'm grateful. I don't know if the club has any offers."

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, who has also been rumored to have an interest in Rodrygo, recently lauded Madrid’s attacking quartet, calling the Brazilian "almost unstoppable."

"Happy [to hear the praise], because he is a great coach in the history of football," Rodrygo responded. "But I hope that everything goes well for Madrid."
