Real Madrid are determined to build the best squad in Europe, and having Rodrygo Goes certainly helps them do that. The 23-year-old may not be a nailed-on starter like Vinicius Junior or Kylian Mbappe, but he is still incredibly important.
However, he feels he is not considered as important as a Vinicius, Mbappe or a Jude Bellingham. This has been reported by Relevo, who say Rodrygo is frustrated by a “lack of affection” shown to him by Real Madrid officials.
Nevertheless, Rodrygo remains fully committed to Real Madrid and this was evident from the fact that he previously turned down an offer from Manchester City, which had been pursuing him for at least twelve months.
It will be interesting to follow Rodrygo's situation at Real Madrid in the coming years. If he continues to feel less important, it would be a surprise if he tried to force a move away. For now he is satisfied.
