"There is legitimately no proper footballing reasons for Real Madrid Club de Futbol to not sign Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante aka Rodri," one expert noted.
His pairing with Tchouameni and Fede Valverde could create a formidable midfield, enhancing both defensive stability and attacking prowess.
In a market where Tonali is going for £100M, Rodri represents a potentially worthwhile investment.
"Yes it’s a temporary fix, but we’ve gone trophyless for two seasons now. I’m not entirely sure that you’d survive a third," another analyst cautioned.
With his recent accolades and the pressing need for reinforcements, Rodri's move to Madrid seems increasingly likely as the club seeks to reclaim its dominance in European football.
“Rodri captained Spain to a World Cup victory over Argentina on July 19, lifting the trophy. With Real Madrid trophyless for two seasons, fans argue he is a 'slam dunk signing' worth the risk, especially given that a comparable midfielder like Sandro Tonali commands a £100m fee.”
