Real Madrid's rising star, Rodrygo, hopes to partner with Kylian Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu despite recent uncertainties surrounding the French striker's potential move. The Brazilian winger continues to express his eagerness to team up with Mbappe, emphasizing the latter's exceptional skill set.

Amid speculations hinting at Real Madrid's potential withdrawal from pursuing Mbappe, Rodrygo reaffirms his enthusiasm for sharing the pitch with the prolific forward next season. Following Karim Benzema's departure, coach Carlo Ancelotti introduced a tactical shift, deploying a 4-4-2 diamond formation where Rodrygo, alongside Vinicius Jr., takes up striking roles. However, Rodrygo has been transparent about his discomfort as a central striker, expressing preferences for other positions on the field.

In a recent interview with AS, Rodrygo reiterated his reluctance to feature primarily as the team's striker while highlighting his adaptability for the collective benefit. When questioned about Mbappe's potential arrival, Rodrygo acknowledged the Frenchman's caliber, expressing his eagerness to collaborate with such top-tier talent.
