Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Rodrygo has opened up on his relationship with one of his favourite teammates at the club.

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has opened up about his special bond with teammate Luka Modric.

The Brazilian international credits the Croatian midfielder with playing a significant role in his success, revealing that their relationship is built on mutual respect and admiration.

Arsenal defender William Saliba has made it clear that he has no plans to leave the club, despite reports linking him with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Rodrygo praises Modric’s guidance, saying, “We have always had a very good relationship and the funny thing is that he is the same age as my father, so he calls me son and I call him dad.”

“We have a very good relationship and I am a big fan of him as a player and as a person. He helps me every day.”

Rodrygo recalls a specific instance where Modric’s advice made a significant impact.

“We were playing against Chelsea in the Champions League and he told me that when I got the ball I should attack the space, that he was going to find me.”

For Rodrygo, playing alongside Modric is a dream come true. “Modric was always one of my favourite players, I had always dreamed of playing with him.”

This season, the Brazilian has impressed with 13 goals and eight assists in 39 appearances for Real Madrid, and will once again be a key factor as Los Blancos look to advance past Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
