Since that famous date of October 28 when Rodri won the Ballon d'Or which seemed promised to Vinicius Jr, Real Madrid has not let up. Convinced that the Brazilian would continue the beautiful story between the Merengue and the greatest individual reward in the world of Football, the reigning European champion seems to have a hard time swallowing the pill. Worse, he decided not to go to the ceremony in Paris, which did not fail to cause controversy with Rodri who had not hidden his skepticism.
In any case, he would not have acted like that: “What do you want me to say? That I would have preferred them all to be present? Of course. The second, third, fourth, etc. were missing. We want all the best players on the planet to be present on an evening like this. The best team of the year (Real Madrid) did not attend the ceremony, although they crowned the best coach (Carlo Ancelotti) and the best collective scorer (Kylian Mbappé). I must respect everyone's decision, even if I would not have acted in the same way. But everyone does what they want” he lamented in his big winner interview with France Football.
Real closes the door to Rodri!
Despite everything, the one who is from Madrid by birth, had not closed the door in recent hours to a possible arrival in the future within the most successful club in history in the Champions League: “Obviously, when Real Madrid, the best club in history and the most successful, calls you, with all that that represents, it's an honor. You always have to pay attention to it, that’s obvious.” declared the Manchester City midfielder on the show El Larguero de la Cadena SER.
However, this interest would not really be reciprocal according to information from Marca. The reason? Florentino Pérez would not like to change his policy which is to pay large sums for players approaching thirty, the Eden Hazard case having greatly affected the Madrid president. This summer, a midfielder should be recruited but it will not be the reigning Ballon d'Or. Once again, it is not the quality of the player that is called into question but he is not part of the strategy and therefore the plans of the Merengue.
