The Club World Cup semifinal clash against PSG was another eye-opener for the 24-year-old winger, who was left on the bench as an unused substitute as Real lost 4-0. Recently, former Real Madrid defender Jesus Vallejo sat down for an interview with AS, and there he made a wild comment on Rodrygo.

Recently departed Real Madrid defender Jesús Vallejo ranked Rodrygo above Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé when comparing the technical quality of his illustrious teammates in the Spanish capital.

Mbappe has known the terms Madrid are willing to offer him since early January, an offer that left some influential members of his camp unconvinced, which has delayed Real’s attempts to sign him.
