Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is currently reluctant to pursue Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernández, who recently led Spain to a FIFA World Cup title. Despite Rodri's strong interest in joining the club, several factors, including his previous ACL injury and an agreement with candidate Enrique Riquelme, may hinder the move. Rodri's recent recovery demonstrates his capability, but Pérez's concerns about his age and injury history contribute to the decision. As it stands, a transfer appears unlikely, although Pérez's stance could change due to Rodri's popularity among Madrid fans.
