Fabrizio Romano drops an update on Real Madrid's Rodri pursuit. Florentino Pérez is close to giving the green light for the Spanish midfielder.
Until very recently, no one clearly saw the signing of Rodri Hernández by Real Madrid, because the club’s hierarchy apparently had many doubts about the deal. But after the insistence of board members and some people at the club, the point of view of those in charge has gradually been changing. There are also thousands of Madrid fans who are asking for his signing after his great World Cup. Journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared a brief update.
“Rodri is pushing for his signing, but Florentino Perez has not yet given the full green light,” Romano said on his X account, just after the journalist Matteo Moretto said that at Real Madrid the view on Rodri’s signing was beginning to change for the better. What is missing now is for the president to be 100% convinced to carry out the deal, and according to information from Ramón Alvarez de Mon, this is already the case.
At the club, they are very clear that the structure of the team must be studied and, above all, the midfield area. For many years we have enjoyed having Luka Modric and Toni Kroos there, but now that the two magicians are not there, alternatives must be considered to have an attractive playing style that allows Madrid to win important things. In the end, this last point will be the most important, because it is what will be demanded of this team.
This context is what has made those who did not want Rodri now rethink the situation. It is a market opportunity that cannot be missed, because the player is eager to receive the call from Real Madrid; he is not going to be very expensive, and his experience and veteran status are very useful. In addition, he is the captain of the Spanish national team and a leader. And there is another important thing: Rodri is from Madrid.
Once Florentino decides to sign him, talks will begin with Manchester City, with whom there is a magnificent relationship. From there, the negotiations should not drag on too long because the English club is a selling club that does not put obstacles in the way of its players, especially when they have one year left on their contract and are 30 years old. This makes several people at Madrid confident of carrying out the transfer.
Let's see what happens. There are, of course, other interesting options in the market, but Rodri, as a Spanish and World champion, should be a really appealing option for Los Blancos.
