A little earlier in the afternoon, the Spanish media indicated that Elche (13th in La Liga) had rejected the advances of Atlético de Madrid for its young midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza. The 20-year-old Spaniard has a release clause, but Elche are ready to discuss an offer above €15 million.
And clearly, this speech did not fall on deaf ears. The radio Cadena COPE And Marca in fact assure that Atlétco and Elche have reached an agreement for the one who is nicknamed as the “new Pedri”. After recruiting Ademola Lookman for around €47 million, the Colchoneros will attract Mendoza in exchange for a check for €16 million plus bonuses. There are still a few details to be resolved, but an agreement in principle has been announced. The player will sign a contract until 2031.
