Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

[Ederson's smiley tattoo]

That Portugal DM Danilo would make a good DM, he was an absolute rock today and didn't place a wrong pass

Carvalho was also great

Transfers of Primera Liga players can only begin on July 1 although players can still be signed before that from outside the league (RM have already wrapped up nearly 300M in transfers, for example).

Buy out clauses can be paid by the buying club (Foreign or domestic) or the player, the only question used to be about the tax implications but that changed 2 or 3 years ago. Now the club can deposit the money to the player without any negotiation needed. Either way, player would have to wait until July 1 to do this, provided he wants to leave/accept the buying club's terms

I bet you're hoping that Real can't shift some of their fringe players aren't you Barca. Would leave them with a ridiculous size squad of just under forty players. Absolute madness.

Cheers mate, so just to clarify, Rodri can't activate his buy out clause until July 1st. It will save a whole load of flapping if people understand this.

The July 1 date is merely when it can be official, they can already make it clear to Cerezo & Atletico intentions to leave even today. However, a couple of things. One, the club has time to respond to speculation and offer the player assurances or better wages, in which case he will stay. Two, I read his interview from Onda Madrid while with U21 earlier in the week - he did not sound like a player who is thinking of leaving

They have FFP concerns, part of the danger of wrapping up your business/expenditures so quickly/early. Bale alone will be a difficult piece to contend with but a fire sale is no doubt imminent - not to forget they also have James returning too

You are right... in their desperation to sign players they have destroyed any leverage they had with players they want out... by mid August they'll have players they know (and everyone else will know) they simply have to shift. Potential buying clubs - along with the relevant players and agents will dig in and the likes of Bale will be given huge payoffs just to go elsewhere... they will piss a fortune away.

Simple, if they fail ffp, ffp will be scrapped and they(uefa and cartel) will find a way to shift blame to city and/or psg, until it comes back later in a different shape to target..city and psg :)

You think we’re intentionally delaying his signature to save a few weeks wages?

Every club does.

Do you think Atletico want him to stay? I read somewhere they had already got a replacement? The implication was they didn't like the uncertainty, maybe that was just the media slant?

Chatting with a very knowledgeable Aletico fan last night.
He says Rodri is a good player, in the mould of Busquets.
Apparently Rodri annoyed Simeone by saying he didn't want to defend so much. Which given he's the defensive midfielder of 3 was strange especially when you think of how the team plays.
Probably means he'll be much happier playing for us.

Maybe he's talking about not wanting to play so defensively as a team - if he was playing for us he wouldn't be playing as defensively as for Atletico

Him having to defend so much is related to the teams style yes. Not a team I watch much because of that. As you say he'll get his opportunities to go forward in our team just as Dinho does.

I believe the club want him to stay as does the player but he’s a business major too so if Cerezo fails to improve his wages then the allure of working with Pep could tip the scales. In that recent interview, as I mentioned, he sounded like a player who was going nowhere but you never know

Its the levy way he signs his players on the last day of the window to get a bargain and save money.

Every club does.

Football contracts run from 1st July thats why winter signings have a x.5 year contracts. Im not sure but if a player is signed in August then an adjustment is made to cover the signing club's expenditure on any salary paid. Its also why the summer signing are always effective from July 1st if announced in advance, there isn't really an opening of the window but effectively its July 1st

Sounds like we should be firming up the backup options, doesn't sound like a guy who is 100% convinced by our project here. Maybe a deadline should be given for his decision? Ferny's replacement is probably the most important transfer this summer.

If Rodri doesnt come , then I am sure our DM position is cursed ! Lol

 

[FCBarca]

Personally I think all things being equal he remains, even with allure of Pep - just my thinking

Where is the dislike button ?? ;)

If not him , who will be closest alternative then from la liga

I can think of Kante / Declan rice from the premier league....who won't be cheap. Ndombele and aour the other options.

Think rodri apart from his abilities , would have been easier to deal with , due to the release clause.
