The white club remains firm in its decision not to pursue the operation for the Spanish midfielder, despite his extraordinary performance in the World Cup in the United States. Neither the board nor José Mourinho has requested his signing.
The Real Madrid has made it clear that it will not take action for Rodrigo Hernández, despite the midfielder having a dream World Cup with the Spanish national team. In Valdebebas, they admire his leadership and ability to direct play, but they consider that the operation does not fit either sportingly or economically into the current planning of the team.
Rodri, Spain's beacon that doesn't entice Madrid
The Spanish international has once again demonstrated in this World Cup why he is considered one of the best midfielders on the planet. From less to more, his performance against France in the semifinals was the definitive confirmation: he commanded as the sole pivot, made sense of the ball's exit, and controlled the midfield against Tchouaméni and Rabiot. His personality, distant from the noise and with an obsessive demand for excellence, fits with the culture that José Mourinho wants to instill, but the Portuguese coach has not requested his signing.
The white club is very aware that Rodri is a fundamental piece for Manchester City, with a market value of around 50 million euros. An investment that Madrid is not willing to undertake, especially considering that there are other priorities in the squad and that the negotiation seems long and costly. However, according to sources close to the player, the man from La Mancha would indeed push to join the Madrid entity.
Mourinho has not requested a financial effort
The Portuguese coach believes that the team needs to improve its ability to organise play and have a midfielder who sets the pace, but he has not placed Rodri's name on the table. The sporting planning of Real Madrid does not contemplate making an offensive move for him, and the club's stance has not changed due to what happened during the World Cup.
For Madrid fans, this decision comes as a cold shower, especially after seeing the level displayed by the Spanish pivot in the World Cup. However, the club prefers to be cautious and not embark on an operation that it considers unviable at this time. Admiration exists, but it will not translate into movements. Neither does the club plan to attempt to sign him, nor has Mourinho requested it.
The World Cup has served to confirm that Rodri remains an extraordinary player, but not to alter the strategy of Real Madrid. The club maintains its roadmap and will not be swayed by the impulse of a tournament, no matter how brilliant a player's performance may be. The decision is made and is firm: Rodri will not play at the Santiago Bernabéu next season.
