Real Madrid forward Rodrygo (24) said he is grateful for the interest from other clubs but wants to stay with the LaLiga side for many years to come.

Rodrygo has scored 12 goals and provided eight assists in 31 games for Real across all competitions this season and the Brazilian was reportedly the recipient of lucrative mid-season offers from clubs in the Saudi Arabian league.

"The terms of the offers (from Saudi), that's more of my father's job, who is my agent, and the club. I do not know much about the details. I am very grateful that there is interest from other clubs," Rodrygo told reporters on Monday.

"I am really happy here. I have been here for a long time. I always say, playing with this shirt in the Champions League is most special."

Rodrygo's current deal with Real runs until 2028.
