Huge sum for Rodrigo: Real Madrid accepts and his departure to Arabia is imminent

At Real Madrid, they are certain that they won't play any team's game to sign anyone. Some prices are being reached that are completely out of the market. That's why they accept some departures, especially those heading to Saudi Arabia.

That's what has happened this time with Rodrigo Mora, a promising footballer from Porto who was liked. The young Portuguese had become one of Real Madrid's targets. But in the end, he will leave for Saudi Arabia, something that the club has accepted.

It's Al-Ittihad that's gone all out to try to secure his services. Some media outlets already take Rodrigo Mora's signing for granted, as he has been lured with a huge annual salary of €5 million. With a release clause of €70 million, the outlay has been very high.

Real Madrid has been very alert to Rodrigo's future, considering signing him in the future. What they were clear about within the club is that they weren't going to do anything crazy for him. That's why they haven't made any attempt to prevent his move to Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid rules out this kind of moves

It's true that Real Madrid has been closely following several players in this summer market. One of them was Rodrigo Mora because they saw him as a great future project due to his quality. He has great talent, but they believe they shouldn't pay a fortune for him.

In fact, Madridists decided to change their transfer policy after what happened with Hazard and Jovic. They preferred to go for more controlled outlays for young talent. Above all, players who would deliver a return on that investment in the long term.

They have also looked at players like Mbappé, Trent, Rüdiger, and Alaba, who arrived for free. They waited for their contracts to end to go after them when they were free agents. It's a formula they could keep repeating with other footballers like Konaté.
