Tottenham is laughing.

The winner of the British media team talk on the 6th (Korea time) 'Hodrigo (Real Madrid) recruitment match has already been decided. Real Madrid have already decided on the timing of the transfer, the report said.

Hodrigo was a hot potato in the summer transfer window. The team talk is 'Hodrigo can no longer hold a starting position at Real Madrid. This is because Kylian Mbappe joined and was virtually pushed out of the first-team stage. His transfer rumors were not surprising. In fact, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham (England) received attention. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) also showed interest, but Rodrigo remained at Real Madrid. Real Madrid, however, are expected to try to cash in on Rodrigo.




Born in 2001, Hodrigo joined Real Madrid in 2019. He won three Spanish Primera Liga championships, two European Champions League (UCL), and one Copa del Rey (King's Cup). However, the situation was not good in the 2024-2025 season. The tide has changed with Kylian Mbappe joining as a free agent (FA). There was even an internal split. Earlier, another British media outlet, the Daily Mail, decided that Hodrigu never wanted to play for the team again due to issues related to Jude Bellingham and Mbappe. He said he wanted to leave the team this summer.

Citing a report by Spanish media outlet Pichahes, TeamTalk said 'Man City is already preparing for recruitment in January next year. Manchester City are preparing a vital recruit to win the UCL. Hodrigu's transfer fee is reported to be around 80 million euros (£69.7 million).

Hodrigo's transfer could make another difference. Team talk is 'Tottenham is also likely to benefit. Manchester City can cover the cost of recruiting Rodrigo through the sale of Savinho. Tottenham negotiated extensively to recruit Savinho, but it did not continue in the end. However, Tottenham are still hoping to recruit Savinho.




Savinho, who was born in 2004, joined Manchester City in July last year after signing PSV Eindhoven (the Netherlands) and Girona (Spain). His transfer fee was £30.8 million. Savinho scored one goal and eight assists in 29 matches in the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season. There were 21 starts. It is a regrettable figure compared to the fact that he scored nine goals and 10 assists in 37 games in Spain's Primera Liga in the 2023-2024 season when he was on loan from Girona. Savinho is likely to play as Manchester City's 'backup' this season as well.
