Florentino's close friend announces it: Madrid's last signing for the new season

Looking ahead to next season, a series of major moves are expected for the Merengue squad in key areas. Tomás González Martín, journalist and close friend of Florentino Pérez, is certain that Rodri Hernández is not the signing. This comes as a surprise, especially with the rumors circulating on social media about the Spaniard.

Additionally, in a very shocking way, he confirms that the only name on the club's table is Konaté from Liverpool. As a result, the reinforcement of a midfielder for the club is gradually moving further away in a significant way.

Still, many believe that regardless of the signing of a center-back, there is also a need for a player in the midfield. This is especially true if it is a player with Rodri's style, who is a top-level playmaker. However, in the end, what happened with the Ballon d'Or issue has left a significant sense of resentment among Madridists.

It won't be Rodri

The Manchester City player has been one of the key pieces for the team managed by Guardiola in recent years. He was the scorer in the final where they won their first UEFA Champions League and, for many, the best midfielder in his role.

Interest in Rodri has been around for a while, even before what happened with the Ballon d'Or, with Florentino as the main party interested in the matter. However, something that is playing an essential role in the club's decision is his injury. It should be remembered that the pivot suffered a ligament injury last season and hasn't fully returned since then.

The investment in the player would also be a factor to consider, especially with the prices in the Premier League.

Konaté and no one else

Apparently, the investment will be entirely focused on signing the Liverpool player and moving away from City. Although Florentino may see it as a painful loss, the reality is that now the most important thing is the defense rather than the midfield. At least, for the moment.
