Journalist Ivan Martin reports Manchester City will facilitate Rodri's departure to Real Madrid for €45 million. Florentino Perez's approval is the only thing missing for the deal.
Spanish journalist Ivan Martin always has very good information about Real Madrid. For that reason, it is worth taking into account what he is saying about the potential arrival of Spanish midfielder Rodri to Jose Mourinho’s team.
Until recently, he saw it as very unlikely, but he now sees it as increasingly possible due to changes in certain positions at Real Madrid. Now it remains to be seen whether Florentino Perez also wants to execute the plan, or at least that is what the journalist says.
“Manchester City is willing to facilitate Rodri’s departure to Real Madrid for €45 million, and Florentino's approval is missing. For the moment, they have not gone for the signing, although the scenario has changed in favor of Rodri’s arrival at the white club because of the great World Cup he had with the Spanish national team,” Martin reported.
A difference-making player like Rodri Hernandez can be very important for Real Madrid, as the white club needs to strengthen the midfield with a creator. After Toni Kroos’ departure, the team feels orphaned in that sense, and the Spanish pivot could be the best choice for the white club, taking into account his contractual situation, his experience, and leadership. Above all, if the English club asks for €45 million for his transfer.
That is what the Madridismo will have to have from now on, because everyone is talking about Rodri’s possible signing for Real Madrid and a lot of contradictory things are being said. Even within the same outlet, journalists have different information. Therefore, you have to keep a cool head and wait for moves, because nobody knew anything about the signings of Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella, and in the end they happened.
Perhaps what has changed the most in this summer market is that, within the Madrid club, they are trying to keep as little information as possible from leaking out. This is not always easy, but in this market they are having quite a lot of success.
And if, in the coming days, the Rodri deal is completed, it will show that they have also been hiding the conversations as much as possible. If not, some interested people will have leaked information to provoke some moves within Madrid. But for the moment, unlike what happened with Michael Olise and Enzo Fernandez, the club has not wanted to speak publicly.
So, things seem to have going well in this case. Let's wait for now.
