A Real Madrid star has reportedly rejected Manchester City’s advances over the summer.
Relevo claim Brazilian striker Rodrygo was the player in question after impressing during Madrid’s stunning LaLiga and Champions League-winning campaign.
Rodrygo scored eighteen goals and nine goals in the 2023-2024 season, often stepping up in big moments.
However, he was still overshadowed by superstars Jude Bellingham and Vincius Jr.
Relevo added that Rodrygo’s perceived lack of public appreciation and “personal problems” led to periods of frustration.
He fully considered City’s offer, but ultimately decided to stay and focus on greater success at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos also had no intention of letting him go and both parties were happy to continue their working relationship.
City eventually brought in another winger in the form of compatriot Savinho, but he is yet to score his first goal for the club.
Rodrygo’s future at Madrid came under further scrutiny following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the summer.
However, he continued to feature regularly, contributing five goals and four assists in twenty games.
