Rodri's Agent Confirms Message to Real Madrid
The representative for Manchester City player Rodri has verified that his client directly communicated his choice to join Barcelona to the prominent Spanish club, Real Madrid.
This development follows a surprising turn of events concerning the future of Spain's World Cup-winning captain. For several weeks, Rodri was widely expected to transfer to Real Madrid this summer. However, on Thursday, he caused considerable surprise throughout the Spanish football community.
Once Hansi Flick's Barcelona expressed their interest in signing him, the 30-year-old swiftly committed himself to the Catalan club.
This decision left the leadership at Real Madrid in a state of collective disbelief, as they once again face a season without a suitable replacement for the long-departed Toni Kroos.
As mentioned, Rodri is clearly aware of the significant impact his decision has had on Real Madrid. Speaking in an interview with El Larguero on Friday, the midfielder's agent, Pablo Barquero, stated:
"Out of respect for Madrid, as they have been class, Rodri informed them that his decision is to join Barça."
