Elections at Real Madrid: why it is almost impossible to run against Florentino Pérez

While Rodri is currently undergoing his medical examination with FC Barcelona, ​​new information sheds light on the role of Real Madrid in this matter. Courted by the Merengue club for several weeks, the Spanish midfielder finally chose to join the Catalan rival, despite Madrid’s interest and his long-standing dream of wearing the White House jersey.

But according to El ChiringuitoReal Madrid would have made a first proposal of less than 40 million euros to try to recruit the 2024 Ballon d’Or. An offer particularly far from Manchester City’s expectations for its player and which adds to the reservations displayed internally about his age and his profile. Barça, for its part, would have displayed a much firmer desire to complete the arrival of Rodri, now very close to officially becoming a Blaugrana.
