Mourinho expresses frustration as Rodri agrees to join Barcelona

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly furious after Rodri, a key midfield target, has agreed to join Barcelona. Despite Real Madrid announcing the signing of Yan Diomande, the club still seeks a strong defensive midfielder, particularly after struggles without Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Mourinho's frustration stems from how Real Madrid managed the negotiations with Rodri, who was initially keen on a transfer to the Spanish capital. With Barcelona also pursuing Rodri, Real Madrid may face challenges in re-entering the race due to financial complications on the Catalan side.
