Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has reportedly made the decision to never play for the Spanish giants again following growing tensions involving teammates Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.

According to Mail Sport, the 24-year-old Brazilian refused to participate in Sunday's high-profile El Clasico match against Barcelona after expressing his intention to leave the club during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The situation comes at a critical time for Real Madrid, who suffered a 4-3 defeat to Barcelona in the match. Despite the loss, Hansi Flick's Barcelona side remains in a strong position to claim the LaLiga title, holding a seven-point advantage over Real Madrid with just three matches remaining in the season.

Spanish publication Marca reports that Rodrygo's discontent stems from feeling marginalized by the excessive media attention surrounding Bellingham and Mbappe. The Brazilian reportedly had aspirations of sharing a leading role at the Bernabeu alongside fellow countryman Vinicius Jr., but these hopes have been overshadowed by the arrival of the high-profile signings.

The report further suggests that Mbappe's arrival has not only affected Rodrygo but has also created tension with Vinicius Jr., who previously enjoyed status as the face of the club before the Frenchman's signing.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is also set to depart the club, was forced to implement tactical changes to accommodate both Bellingham and Mbappe this season. As the campaign progressed, Rodrygo found himself increasingly excluded from the Italian's preferred starting lineup, with Ancelotti opting for a front three consisting of Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, and Mbappe for crucial fixtures.

With Real Madrid preparing to enter a new era following Ancelotti's departure, Rodrygo appears determined to seek opportunities elsewhere rather than continue competing for playing time in a squad dominated by other star players.

The Brazilian forward's decision marks a significant development for Los Blancos as they navigate the challenges of managing a squad filled with world-class talent and the egos that often accompany such players.
