When it became apparent that Real Madrid was poised to sign Kylian Mbappe, speculation swirled about Rodrygo Goes' future.
With Vinicius Jr. established as a critical player and Mbappe joining the squad, it was thought that Rodrygo might see reduced prominence and consider leaving the Santiago Bernabeu.

Manchester City was reportedly interested in Rodrygo, but the buzz eventually died.

Guardiola continues to admire Rodrygo
Although that was the situation, Marca reports that Rodrygo remains a ‘dream signing’ for City manager Pep Guardiola.
The Premier League champions are preparing to sell Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid and may seek a replacement for the Argentine international.
Reactions to the post:
Here are some of the responses to Guardiola's dream signing.
@ReyesDeUniverso:
"Why would Rodrygo join a club that he owns?"
@MCFC_Saul:
"He wants to play under a real tactician, not some park the bus guy."
@Asensii20:
"Why would he join an oil club?"
@mancityhardcore:
"Don’t ever forget Real Madrid, we are your daddy."
@fcbharrison:
"Bro getting shipped already?"
@MCFCyolo:
"Pep wants to replace one bench warmer with another."
@Herbertwal:
"He’s a star."
@WeareManC1ty:
"We’re good with Savio, we don’t need that bench warmer."
According to the report, City is considering several potential targets, including Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
However, Rodrygo is also on their list, with the Real Madrid attacker reportedly a favourite of Guardiola.
Is Rodrygo willing to leave Madrid?
Although Guardiola and Manchester City remain interested, Rodrygo is not expected to depart from Real Madrid this summer, Madrid Universal reported.
The Brazilian is a central figure in Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and extended his contract with the club last year.
Rodrygo and Real Madrid are dedicated to maintaining their partnership, with no imminent plans for a split.
Despite the increased competition from Mbappe, Endrick, and the emerging Arda Guler, Rodrygo's departure seems unlikely.
Real reason why Pep Guardiola refused to sign Lionel Messi
Four years ago, FC Barcelona legend Lionel Messi reportedly had his eyes set on the English Premier League and a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
However, Guardiola had his reasons for not bringing his 'beloved' star to City in 2020.
