Real Madrid's Rodrygo linked with swap deal for Manchester City player

Rodrygo has played a major part in Real Madrid's successes in recent years. He is the type of player who comes up clutch in the big moments. But at the same time, one has to admit that the Brazilian struggles for consistency. He has runs of form when he looks like one of the best players on the planet. On the other hand, there are also periods when he just does not contribute enough in front of goal.

With Real Madrid signing Kylian Mbappe this summer, one has to wonder what the future holds for Rodrygo. Will the Frenchman's presence in the team end up having a negative impact on the Brazilian international?

Amid all this, there has been plenty of talk regarding the future of Julian Alvarez as well. The Argentine has been left out of important games by Pep Guardiola in the past and that could potentially lead to him leaving Manchester City.

There has been talk of a potential swap deal involving Rodrygo and Alvarez. But as things stand, Real Madrid do not seem interested in such a move.

As reported by El Nacional, Real Madrid does not seem to be very keen on the idea of ​​letting Rodrygo depart to bring in Alvarez. Florentino Perez prefers to retain the Brazilian international, despite the fact that in the last campaign, he showed an inconsistent version of himself.

That might very well be the right decision on the part of Real Madrid. Rodrygo might be inconsistent, but we know what he is capable of at his best. He has so much more to offer. Vinicius Jr struggled for consistency a few years back as well and look at him today. Hopefully, the same will happen with his Brazilian teammate over time.

As for Alvarez, he is a fantastic talent himself. Most legends would not be able to match the trophy cabinet he already has. But at the club level, the Argentine World Cup winner is not as proven as Rodrygo.
