Several soccer stars are enjoying a vacation after the preseason ended. La Liga kicks off next weekend, and Real Madrid players are enjoying their time off at different locations. However, the Instagram post of Rodrygo Goes has caught the eye of many fans. The Brazilian posed with Kylian Mbappe in Sardinia. He added it to his Instagram story and captioned it “KM,” with fire emojis. Mbappe met with Rodrygo Goes at Porto Cervo. The story has weightage because Rodrygo recently spoke in favor of Mbappe joining Los Blancos.

Real Madrid is the dream move for Mbappe, who is desperate to join the club after snubbing them for years. Mbappe is determined this time and communicated to PSG that he won’t extend his contract next season. As a result, the Parisians want to sell the player and have opted for pressure tactics to force him out of the club.
