LOL, just noticed his release clause is only 70m. That is ridiculously low. The best DM IMO this season, dude has it all.
A true DM unlike Rabiot, Arthur and De Jong.
Could be a option for us in a season or two when Busquest leave as a dont see De Jong as a DM.
Rodri is a class act and future replacement of Busquets for the national team if he counties his development and there won't be a more talented player than him who emerges before Busquets calls it a day.
However he was always Atlético de Madrid bound. Left the academy to join Villarreal in order to develop and spent 5 years in Villarreal. He always had a return in mind as the club was actively trying to buy him in the summer of 2017 after missing out on Ceballos.
In a way I am happy that he returned as we need more players in the mould of Koke etc. who are willing to stay at their boyhood clubs despite getting proposals from the two domestic giants and much more lucrative (economically speaking) deals from abroad.
