Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal has garnered attention across Europe with his recent comments on Thursday evening. The defender has openly discussed his efforts to persuade an international teammate, Rodri, to join him at Santiago Bernabéu.
Carvajal and Rodri are currently playing together for Spain, as they compete in the Euro 2024 tournament. Both have been crucial to La Roja’s campaign, with Rodri in particular receiving widespread acclaim as one of the game’s best deep-lying midfielders. Carvajal believes that Rodri’s talents would make him an ideal fit for Real Madrid’s midfield.
In an interview with Cope, cited by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Carvajal did not hide his attempts to recruit Rodri to Real Madrid. He said, “I tell Rodri every day to sign for Real Madrid. I tell him every day to leave Manchester, that there is no sun there and to come to Madrid, that we need him. He tells me he has a contract… but he would be perfect for us.”
