Galacticos star Rodrygo reveals declining contract of Premier League giants

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo reportedly declined a highly lucrative offer from Manchester City last summer, reaffirming his commitment to the Spanish giants, as noted by sources.

Despite the enticing proposal from one of Europe’s most successful clubs, both Rodrygo and Real Madrid were steadfast in their intention to stay together hand in hand.

The situation made it clear towards the end of the last season that Rodrygo was a crucial player in Real Madrid's success, playing a vital role in securing the league title and driving the team deep into the Champions League.

His tally of 18 goals and nine assists directly addressed many of the team's attacking problems. However, it was frustrating to see the spotlight consistently shift to his teammates, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham. This overshadowing left Rodrygo feeling unjustly overlooked, despite his contributions on the pitch.

Rodrygo declined Manchester City's offer

The period of feeling undervalued, alongside personal challenges, presented the Brazilian forward with opportunities for growth and reflection.

Despite acknowledging his mistakes during this time, he showed a strong commitment to his journey at Real Madrid. By turning down the offer from Manchester City, he affirmed his determination to succeed and make a lasting impact at Real Madrid.

Despite the high-profile arrival of Kylian Mbappe last summer, Rodrygo embraced the competition head-on. He fought valiantly for his place in the squad, resolute in proving his worth. After overcoming injuries earlier in the season, the forward has now returned to peak form, ready to make an impact. In the last three matches, he has scored three goals and provided two assists, establishing himself as one of the standout performers on the field.
