With 12 goals and 8 assists this season, he is essential in the attack. The Italian coach fully trusts him and considers him essential for the present and future of Real Madrid.

Rodrygo and his possible departure

A few months ago, his future sparked debate. Just before the Champions League final against Dortmund, Rodrygo left the door open to a departure.

His statements were interpreted as a nod to other teams. Since then, the interest from several European entities has continued to grow. Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, has been one of the most persistent in trying to sign him.
