"He was not needed": José Mourinho comments again on Rodri's move to Barcelona

Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho remains completely unfazed about the composition of his team's midfield.

Details: The Portuguese manager addressed the situation during a press conference, speaking about Spanish midfielder Rodri's transfer to Barcelona despite Real Madrid's interest. According to Mourinho, signing the Spanish playmaker was by no means a necessity for Los Blancos.

"Rodri's transfer was not a necessity.

We have no gaps; it would have been more of a cherry on top. We have Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde, Bernardo, and Arda can ultimately play in this position as well," Mourinho admitted.

With veterans Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić departing, the Madrid club has placed its bet on versatility, a young core, and the high potential of players already in the squad.

It's worth noting that the reputable portal Transfermarkt values the 30-year-old Spanish midfielder Rodri at €130 million.
