Rodrygo admits Real Madrid players expect Mbappe to sign

Rodrygo Goes admits Real Madrid players expect Kylian Mbappe to join them next season.

Rodrygo struck twice yesterday as Real defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0.

Speaking to reporters in the mixed zone, the Brazil attacker was asked about the PSG star: "We are many. I believe that Mbappé is close because of what everyone says, I trust journalists, but I don't know what will happen.

"We are many and we'll see what the mister decides," he added, referring to coach Carlo Ancelotti's contract.

"I don't think anything, just about being focused this season, finishing it well, with as many titles as possible.

"I am always calm, everyone on the team helps me a lot. I always have a calm head because I know I'm going to score again and I wanted to do it when the team needed me. Now is a difficult time, with the City game close, and I wanted to do well."
