(Football news) Since moving from Santos to Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, Rodrygo has played in 215 games and recorded 54 goals and 41 assists. This season, the attacker has been a constant in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, starting 42 of his 50 games in competition.

In order to help Real Madrid win the league and the Spanish Super Cup, Rodrygo has scored 17 goals and contributed nine assists. Rodrygo has been instrumental in getting Real Madrid to the Champions League final on Saturday against Borussia Dortmund, having scored five of those goals there. 

While he is expected to start at Wembley, Rodrygo has been linked with a move away from the Spanish capital due to the imminent arrival of Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman is widely expected to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, and his arrival could see Rodrygo lose his place in the starting lineup.

Liverpool are believed to be among several Premier League clubs showing an interest in the Real Madrid man.

The Reds would have been encouraged by Rodrygo’s recent comments after he refused to rule out a departure when asked whether he wanted to stay at the club forever.

Rodrygo told DAZN: “Yes. Well, anything can happen. I have a contract here, but I don’t know. The years I’ve been here have been a pleasure for me.”

While Rodrygo offered no guarantees over his future, the 23-year-old has no intention of leaving the Santiago Bernabeu this summer despite the looming arrival of Mbappe.

The update claims that Rodrygo is happy with his situation at Real Madrid, demonstrated by the fact he signed a new long-term contract in November.

The forward signed a new deal to extend his Real Madrid stay until the summer of 2028, with the contract containing a €1b (£849m) release clause.

Rodrygo will have the chance to claim his second Champions League winners’ medal in Saturday’s final showdown with Dortmund.

Having started in 11 of the club’s 12 European matches this season, Rodrygo is expected to line up in a front two alongside his compatriot Vinicius Junior.
