Real Madrid star ‘flirting’ with Man City amid Liverpool links with Kylian Mbappe to force shock transfer

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo is reportedly facing an uncertain future at the Bernabeu, with Manchester City and Liverpool reportedly interested in him.

The 23-year-old Brazilian international has scored an impressive 17 goals this season, helping Carlo Ancelotti’s side win LaLiga and reach the Champions League final.

Despite Real Madrid’s success this term, Rodrygo controversially described Man City – who are rumoured to be rivalling Liverpool for his signature – as “the best team in the world.”

Transfer journalist Javier Tinto insisted that there is ‘nothing coincidental’ about the timing of Rodrygo’s ‘flirting’ with the Cityzens. Fresh reports from Spain claim that the possibility of a move to Man City is ‘tempting’ the Los Blancos forward.

With Kylian Mbappe set to join Madrid on a free transfer in the coming weeks it’s thought that Rodrygo is concerned that his playing time will reduce next season.

Mbappe will no doubt be one of the first names on the team sheet for Madrid and will likely start as a striker or left-winger.
