The next transfer window will reveal whether he stays at Elche... or makes the big leap to a European powerhouse.

Three major clubs interested in Rodrigo Mendoza
Elche’s young midfielder, Rodrigo Mendoza, is making headlines. At just 20 years old, he is already on the radar of three European giants: Juventus, Manchester City, and Real Madrid.
Mendoza caught the eye last season in the second division, netting 1 goal and providing 2 assists. This year, in La Liga, he continues to showcase his talent: 1 goal in 9 matches and another in the Copa del Rey. He also impressed at the U20 World Cup, further cementing his reputation as a rising star.
His release clause is set at €20 million, a fee that’s inevitably attracting Europe’s elite. Juventus appear to be leading the chase, but Manchester City and Real Madrid are also closely monitoring his development. Under contract until 2028, Mendoza could soon become one of the most sought-after young midfielders on the market.
