Real Madrid player and Brazil international Rodrygo has admitted that he was moments away from joining Barcelona before his transfer to Real Madrid.
The 22-year-old Brazil completed his move from Santos to Spain back in 2019, costing Los Blancos around £40m as he was dubbed the ‘next Neymar’. However things could have been very different for the winger as he almost joined the Galactico’s fiercest rivals, Barcelona, who were originally interested before Madrid beat them to it.
🗣 Rodrygo: "Real Madrid or Barcelona? It was easy for me to choose. Everything was already agreed with Barcelona then Real Madrid happened. I didn't expect it. It was a scare at first, but then one of the happiest moments of my life." @marca
