The Portuguese tactician reportedly believed the Spanish international was the final piece of his midfield puzzle before the player opted for a move to arch-rivals Barcelona.
Florentino Perez is ready to pivot towards a rising star in the Eredivisie after accepting defeat in the pursuit of Manchester City's midfield anchor. With Rodri reportedly choosing a sensational switch to Barcelona, Los Blancos are preparing a swoop for an 18-year-old prodigy Jorthy Mokio.
Real Madrid have officially ruled out signing a new midfielder this summer after missing out on Rodri. Manager Jose Mourinho will now restructure his tactical setup, relying heavily on Bernardo Silva and Arda Guler to lead the team's ball distribution during the upcoming campaign.
