Rodrygo declares support for Mbappe at Real Madrid: “It’s a phenomenon”

Real Madrid striker Rodrygo was excited this Wednesday (14) at the possibility of Kylian Mbappé signing with the Spanish club and said he considers the Frenchman “a phenomenon” who plays in a position where the team needs reinforcements .

Asked how excited he would be with the hypothetical signing of the Paris Saint-Germain player, on a scale of one to ten, he replied: “For me, ten because he is a phenomenon, he is one of the best players in the world and we know that at this moment we need a player there, in the position he likes to play”, he commented at a press conference in Barcelona, ​​where the Brazilian team trains this week.

“The sooner (the Frenchman is signed) the better. But not just Mbappé. If Mbappé can’t come now, there are other players. (Club president) Florentino (Pérez) and (coach Carlo) Ancelotti should talk about that and see what’s best for Real Madrid,” he added.

However, Rodrygo pointed out that the French striker is still a PSG player, which is why it is necessary to remain calm.

“He has a valid contract and we have to respect that,” he declared.

The Brazilian team is in Barcelona, ​​where it will face Guinea in a friendly against racism, before traveling to Lisbon, where it will play against Senegal.

Asked if Spain is a racist country, after the recent insults received by his teammate Vinícius Jr, the striker denied it.

“I hear a lot of people say that Spain is racist. I live here and I can say that Spain is not a racist country, there is racism all over the world”, analyzed Rodrygo, who regretted the insults uttered in Valencia against his teammate, who was dejected in the locker room after being expelled.

“When I saw what really happened, I was very sad. It was a very complicated day”, he confessed.
