    RODRI’S FULL SEGMENT ABOUT REAL MADRID:

    “Would you like to return to play in Spain, in Madrid, in La Liga?”

    Rodri: “I would like to return, yes, obviously.”

    “Did someone tell you if the president or general director of Real Madrid would like you?”

    Rodri: “(Laughs) I don’t know. They wouldn’t talk to me, they’d talk to my agent.”

    “Is it a closed door for you to play for Real Madrid since you played for Atlético Madrid before?”

    Rodri: “No, no. There have been many players who took this road, not directly but with time. For me, you cannot refuse the best clubs in the world.”

    Just like with Enzo I believe the club must always place ‘sporting interests’ over everything else.

    They must at the very least, have a conversation with a player, that would improve the team, if they become available.

    Then comes everything else.

    Having said that… I don’t believe Rodri is the same player as he was before his ACL & I don’t believe he actually would improve the team relative to his cost.

    Enzo on the other hand…? If Enzo throws his toys out & he becomes available for sub-80mil? We should have a conversation.

  3. A lot of Madridista’s don’t want this movie because of the ballon dor robbery, which although of course he himself didn’t rob, his reaction and antics after winning didn’t help.

    However, if we even forget that whole scenario, I just think it makes no sense to pay a decent size transfer fee and big wages for a guy who’s turning 30.

    Is he the profile we need? Yes. Just go back to the city second leg and look at his position, passing, and press – it’s the best in the world. But he’s been injury prone over the last two seasons, and at his age that isn’t a good sign.

  4. Playing for Athletico isnt a deal breaker. I mean i still remember when Courtois played for them and RM fans hated him. The hate was mostly just because he was so good but I still remember that time lol

    A couple things I want to point out. My Opinion and I respect yall opinions.
    – I Love Vini Jr he was Robbed that years balon d Oro it’s facts.
    – I like Rodri Play Style.
    -He was gifted the balon d Oro he didn’t Win it. (Not his fault)
    – 29 or 30 years old he’s NOT OLD.
    Most footballers get a lot more experience and better read of the game when aging.
    – 5 years at the club or 4 would help with midfield defenders.
    – either Him Or Enzo Fernandez would be great options IN MY OPINION

  6. Imagine the whistling from Atletico fan if he played for us. Will be much worse than Courtois

  7. I mean… I don’t want him over here but if he’s being so desperate, i don’t mind

    Would however want to see how Vini would react to all of this lol

  8. Forget about all the other stuff. It’s going to be a high price tag for player with one leg unless he is undeniable in upcoming WC run. Even then there’s probably other players that can fill the same position as him for a much healthier and better price.

  9. Aside the ballon d’or fiasco he still isn’t worth it

    Guy is nearly 31 with an acl tear and is more injury prone now. Maybe 2-3 years ago he would be the perfect guy in the midfield but now? Never we should look for better options.
