Real Madrid 'unhappy' with Rodrygo's behaviour following Mbappe's signing

Real Madrid has stated that they are "disappointed" in Rodrygo's actions following Kylian Mbappe's signing.

The Laliga champions completed the signing of former PSG star Mbappe on a free transfer last month.

Rodrygo, who has been with the Los Blancos for a while, was rumoured to be on his way out of the club since Mbappe's arrival.

The signing of the French international has led to Rodrygo's change in behaviour, which did not sit well with the club.

The Brazilian has engaged in several tricky attitudes this season, which have not gone down well with the club's supporters.

Just a day after the team's 1-1 tie with Mallorca, Rodrygo posted something on his own Whatsapp channel.

According to ManagingMadrid, Rodrygo said, “Hi guys, yesterday the result was not what we wanted. In La Liga every point makes the difference in the end. 

“I’m happy with the goal and with the growth of the team. Last week they talked about the trio of Bellingham, Mbappe and Vini, but they are going to have to add the R of Rodrygo to that acronym. 

“We have a quartet of attackers and the rest of the team. They all have their importance in the games and will show their value in the different competitions in which we participate. The week will be full of hard work until our next match at the Bernabeu.”

Despite some people's suggestions to the contrary, Rodrygo's camp stated that the post was removed because people "misinterpreted it" and that it was real.

Days later, Forbes reports, via unnamed sources, that Madrid were discontent with Rodrygo's behaviour.

Uria said, "Rodrygo doesn't have the desire to leave Madrid, but the people who handle Rodrygo do. 

"And those people have to leave a door open because they know that it is a difficult year in sports. Next year he leaves Madrid.

“Call him what you want, but Rodrygo next year is not at Madrid. In football, he has an alibi because he has quality. But for him, recognition is important. For Rodrygo it is a blow to be taken out of the BMV."

Meanwhile, Rodrygo was in action for Madrid in their disappointing opening match of the season against Mallorca.

Despite the quality in attack and the trio of Mbappe Vinicus Jr and Rodrygo, they were only able to secure a 1-1 draw.
