What could be the reasons, let’s try to break it down, from both perspectives:
1A. Florentino has a massive ego problem. Because Rodri reportedly agreed with rival presidential candidate Enrique, Florentino doesn’t want him.
1B. But Cristiano was “signed” by Calderon, Florentino’s previous rival presidential candidate. And he still signed him.
2A. The fact that Vini won’t like Rodri’s arrival? Could signing Rodri directly impact Vini’s renewal?
2B. When has Florentino ever cared about what a player thinks? In the past he’s annoyed his stars by signing/selling certain players.
3A. He has doubts over his injuries long-term. And doesn’t want to take a risk on a 30-year old?
3B. He’s signed Dumfries and Bernardo, both above 30 years old, and Konate, who has injury issues.
4A. Florentino thinks our midfield is genuinely the perfect blend of profiles.
4B. He’s an idiot, if that’s the case. Two years of failure, and Spain’s dominance in midfield which ultimately made them win the World Cup, should be more than enough evidence for anyone with eyes and a brain to think otherwise.
