Real Madrid have begun the process of renewing and enhancing Rodrygo Goes' contract. The Brazilian forward has proved to the club this season that he can be a star player in the future and they will now set about keeping him for the seasons to come. The discourse around Los Blancos and their attacking department has revolved around Kylian Mbappe and hisexpected arrival at the club until recently.
In the background though, Rodrygo has become a decisive player in the final part of the season and the La Liga Santander champions will act on that despite the 21-year-old having three years left on his current deal. The striker signed for Real Madrid in 2019, committing himself for six seasons, but Real Madrid believe that the time has come to recognise the merits of the Brazilian and increase the length of the contract.
Real Madrid are clear that they must try and tie down the Brazilian attacker for a very long time and trust him for what comes. In addition, this season the club have had many reasons to keep him. In the duel with Asensio on the right wing, the former Santos man has clearly won the battle. Carlo Ancelotti has used the 21 year-old winger on numerous occasions and become a brilliant player off the bench.
A factor in Real Madrid's admiration of the player is that he seems to be able to find a new level when playing in the Champions League. He has actually scored 10 goals in the Champions League this season whereas he has only managed seven in the domestic league.
Ancelotti believes Rodrygo can still show his best side and become a world-class player. Once he has managed to make a leap physically, the footballing aspect of his game is already at a very high level. Looking back, his early time at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane was hampered by a serious knee injury.Rodrygo, who has five caps for the Brazilian national team to his name and one goal, has made 48 appearances in all competitions for Madrid this season.
