Reasons Preventing Real Madrid from Signing Rodri
The website 'Fichajes' revealed the reasons that make the transfer of Spanish star Rodri from Manchester City to Real Madrid nearly impossible at the moment, despite the royal club's strong desire to acquire the player.
The report clarified that coach Xabi Alonso has placed Rodri at the top of his priorities to strengthen the midfield following the departure of Toni Kroos, due to his possession of the qualities the club is looking for: defensive strength, playmaking ability, and extensive experience in major matches.
However, there are several factors preventing the completion of the deal, the first being Manchester City's firm refusal to negotiate the sale of the player, as coach Pep Guardiola considers him one of the key elements in his tactical system and cannot be easily replaced.
Additionally, the financial obstacle represents another major reason, as Rodri's high market value, along with his substantial salary being among the highest in the English team, complicates the deal in light of Real Madrid's current policy that relies on controlling expenses and preferring to sign younger players.
The report also indicated that the player's physical condition is a source of concern within the Real Madrid management, after he recently suffered several muscular issues that led Manchester City to reduce his participation this season.
According to the same source, Real Madrid sees signing Rodri as a technically ideal deal, but it is unrealistic given Manchester City's insistence on retaining his services and the high economic cost, alongside the youth renewal policy pursued by the Spanish club.
