Rodrygo 'very happy' penning new Real Madrid deal

Rodrygo Goes admits he's delighted signing new contract with Real Madrid.

The attacker penned terms to 2028 yesterday.

Rodrygo stated: "I'm very happy. It's a very special day for me. I'm very happy to be back in this room, like when I signed the first time, and to do it now for my renewal.

"I always dreamed of playing here and, when you come in and start wearing this shirt, you really see its greatness. You could say that Real Madrid is my life. I'm very happy about the renewal. I would like everyone to have a day like this, because it's very special. You have to live it to know what it's like.

"I'll always be very grateful to (Luka) Modrić. At a time when I wasn't playing so much, he told me to keep working and training because my time would come. After that I got up and trained harder every day. Then my time came. I started to play, to score goals and to be important for the team.

"I always come from home motivated and happy because I'm going to train and play for Real Madrid. There is no greater motivation.

"I've learned to never give up in any situation. I always fight to the end, that's what I've learned here wearing this shirt."
