Real Madrid forward Rodrygo hints that he has no interest in leaving the Santiago Bernabeu for the Premier League.

Rodrygo has hinted that he sees his long-term future continuing to represent Real Madrid.

Having initially made an impact for Santos as a teenager, Rodrygo completed a transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2019.

Although he initially took time to find consistency for Los Blancos, the Brazil international is now regarded as one of the best players in the world.

As many as 19 goals and 11 assists were contributed in all competitions during 2022-23, and that has been backed up by five strikes and four assists this season.

That led to Real officials making the move to extend the 22-year-old's contract until the end of the 2027-28 campaign, protected by a £1bn release clause.

A transfer away from Real would realistically only materialise if the La Liga giants received an offer that they could not refuse or if Rodrygo requested an exit.

In the past, there has been speculation regarding a potential transfer to the Premier League or Saudi Pro League, with clubs in those countries having the financial firepower to test Real's resolve.

Nevertheless, according to Rodrygo, he sees himself spending the bulk of his career in the Spanish capital having emerged as a key man under Carlo Ancelotti.

Speaking to El Partidazo de Cope, Rodrygo said: "I didn't get any offer from Saudi League. I'm not interested about Premier League rumours.

"To be honest I'm only thinking about playing for Real Madrid, nothing else. I love Real Madrid. It's all perfect here."

In total, Rodrygo has made a total of 182 appearances for Real, contributing 42 goals and 36 assists during his time at the club.

Real have recently moved to extend the contracts of several of their younger players, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde and Vinicius Junior all penning similar lengths of deals.

Rodrygo is currently with the Brazil national team preparing for their World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Argentina.
