Matteo Moretto went through ‘The Chalkboard of Quintana’ to review the names of the market and left important information about Rodri Hernández. The midfielder of Manchester City had been placed in the orbit of Real Madrid in recent weeks, but the journalist was blunt: the path is not moving forward and, today, it does not seem like a real option for the white team.
Moretto explained that City is pushing to renew the Spanish international and that the positions are not that far apart. “City has just offered him an important contract to renew. “The boy is taking his time a little,” he said before providing the most relevant information: there was direct communication between clubs.
City already knows that Real Madrid will not go for Rodri
“I have been told that there was direct communication between the clubs, between Real Madrid and City, and City knows that Real Madrid is not going to sign Rodri“Moretto assured. A phrase that clearly cools one of the names that had generated the most noise in the white environment.

The journalist was even more emphatic when explaining Florentino Pérez’s position: “They have told me that Florentino does not want to sign Rodri and at the moment it seems that this issue is not moving forward“The context, furthermore, comes in the middle of the debate on the possible great electoral movement of Real Madrid, with names like Vitinha or Olise also on the table.
City pushes for its renewal
Rodri’s situation now points more towards continuity in Manchester than towards an exit. Moretto had already said weeks ago that City was working hard on renewing the midfielder and now he reaffirmed that information. The English club wants to protect one of its most important players and avoid any scenario of uncertainty in the middle of the market.
City and Rodri are not that far from reaching an agreement for the renewal
The parties, as the journalist explained, “They are not that far from reaching an agreement“, although Rodri is taking his time before making a final decision. Manchester City, for its part, has already put a strong proposal on the table to convince him.
Kang In Lee, market option for Atlético
Beyond Rodri, Moretto also focused on Kangin Lee. The PSG player wants to go out in search of more prominence and Atlético de Madrid remains very attentive to his situation. “Kang In wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain, he wants to have more prominence”he explained.

The price of the footballer would be around 30 million euros and, although there is interest from Arabia, Türkiye and the Premier, the South Korean prioritizes the Atlético option. “The boy prioritizes going to Atlético de Madrid”Moretto assured.
Arnau Martínez, an attractive name after Girona’s relegation
Another of the notable names was Arnau Martínez. After Girona’s relegation, his clause has dropped and now stands at eight million euros, a figure that turns the defender into a market opportunity.

Moretto explained that there are clubs in Spain and Italy attentive to his situation and highlighted his versatility to act in different positions. “It is an interesting name for the market”, he noted.
Bordalás, Arrasate and the bench dance
The coaching market also had prominence. Moretto confirmed that Bordalás is an option for Osasuna and that The coach is “more outside than inside Getafe”also for economic reasons. In the case of Rayo Vallecano, the journalist insisted that Jagoba Arrasate remains the first option and that the agreement could be closed in the coming days.

Furthermore, he placed García Pimienta as a strong candidate for Girona, even in the Second Divisionwithin a plan that aims to immediately return to First Division.
Cucurella and Grimaldo, sides in the window
In the final stretch, Moretto reviewed the situation of Marc Cucurella and Alejandro Grimaldo. The first can leave Chelsea and has Manchester City, Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona attentivealthough its price would be high, above 50 million.

Grimaldo, for his part, could leave Bayer Leverkusen for a figure close to 10 million and Atlético and Barcelona also like him. “He wants to return to Spain”Moretto explained, although for now there is nothing concrete beyond interest.
