Despite reported interest from Saudi Arabia and the Premier League, the Brazilian insists he is focused on building his legacy with Los Blancos.

Rodrygo focused on Real Madrid

Rodrygo, who has 12 goals and 8 assists in 31 appearances this season, was the subject of lucrative mid-season offers from Saudi Pro League clubs.

However, the 24-year-old dismissed any thoughts of leaving, saying, "The terms of the offers, that’s more of my father’s job, who is my agent, and the club.

“I do not know much about the details. I am very grateful that there is interest from other clubs.

"I am really happy here. I have been here for a long time. I always say, playing with this shirt in the Champions League is most special."

Rodrygo insists on Real Madrid despite squad competition

Rodrygo’s current contract runs until 2028, and his comments effectively shut down rumours of dissatisfaction, as he remains a key part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

With Kylian Mbappe’s arrival last summer adding further firepower to Madrid’s attack, questions have arisen about Rodrygo’s place in the starting XI.

His preferred position is on the left wing—already occupied by Vinícius Júnior and now Mbappe—forcing him to play more often on the right.

Despite this, interest from Premier League clubs sensing potential frustration has been swiftly dismissed by Rodrygo’s latest remarks.
