Real Madrid not interested in Ballon d’Or winner despite the player’s desire to join the club | OneFootball

Rodri became the hot topic in Real Madrid circles last night when the midfielder admitted he will be open to playing for Los Blancos.

Last month, Rodri instantly became an unlikeable figure among Real Madrid fans after he pipped Vinicius Junior to secure the Ballon d’Or title.

Later, the Manchester City midfielder went on to criticise Vinicius’ attitude, to which, the Brazilian has received support from former Barcelona star Neymar.

However, things took an interesting turn when Rodri also admitted he will be willing to play for Real Madrid.

According to MARCA, acquiring the services of the Manchester City midfielder is not a part of Real Madrid’s plans in the near future.

It appears Rodri’s profile does not attract Real Madrid, as the club do not consider it feasible to spend the big bucks on the Man City superstar.

This is despite the fact the Rodri is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, if not the best.

Not to mention, Real Madrid have lacked a stable holding midfielder since the departure of Toni Kroos. The addition of someone like Rodri, therefore, could go a long way in alleviating the club’s midfield problems.

Real Madrid themselves were linked with a move for the Spanish international not too long ago. But it appears the tides have turned and the club are no longer considering the possibility of bringing in the former Atletico Madrid star.
