The impending arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid in the summer is generating a lot of excitement in the Spanish capital.
The French superstar is widely regarded as one of the best in the game currently and has long been a target for Florentino Perez & co.
After failed attempts in the past, the dream signing will finally arrive this summer, with Mbappe expected to join Real Madrid for free once his PSG contract expires.
However, it might not be good news for everyone though as the Frenchman’s arrival could impact the game-time of some other players, including a certain Rodrygo.
Arsenal, Man City, Manchester United, and Liverpool on alert
As such, SPORT reports that Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool are all closely watching the situation of Rodrygo, weighing up a possible summer move.
The 23-year-old has been a permanent fixture in attack for Real Madrid over the past couple of years, along with Vinicius Jr. But Mbappe’s arrival could change things for the Brazilian, for the Frenchman will walk right into the team.
Furthermore, there will be competition from the likes of Joselu, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler, and Endrick, who will also be arriving in the summer.
As such, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have all enquired about Rodrygo’s situation, exploring the possibility of a summer move.
Rodrygo non-transferable
However, Real Madrid will not entertain any offers or proposals for Rodrygo as they consider the Brazilian ‘non-transferable’.
Rodrygo signed a new contract with the Merengues that runs until 2028 and his exit clause is €1 billion.
As such, the aforementioned English clubs are aware that any move for him will be hard to pull off unless the player himself asks to leave.
But that is also an unlikely possibility as Rodrygo is happy and settled at Real Madrid. He accepts that there will be more competition next season and his minutes might get reduced, but he is committed to the club.
The 23-year-old feels protected by Ancelotti, who values the attacker a great deal for his hard work, discipline, and commitment.
