Deco would have been interested in one of the most talented footballers of the green and white team
Rodri was a Blaugrana youth player and lived in La Masia for a short period of time
Barça would be interested in one of Betis’ most talented footballers, Rodri Sánchez, as explained by ‘More than balls’. The sports management now led by Deco would have focused on this attacking midfielder, who usually plays positioned on the right wing and has a great left foot. Extremeño, 23 years old, the player had a brief period as a youth player at La Masia.
The current Real Betis footballer came to culé youth football in 2014 from Espanyol. At the residence he met Ansu Fati, although they played in different categories, which did not prevent them from being photographed together, as demonstrated a couple of years ago on ‘Betis TV’. In fact, he has always assured that Leo Messi, with whom he maintains, despite the distance, a similar style. Although he has not been the only one: “Because of the way I play, I have always felt identified with Özil. Fekir and Canales are two other incredible, magnificent left-handers,” he commented then.
Contract until 2026
This season he has participated in all four League games, although he has only started in one of them, against Rayo Vallecano. The footballer is liked in the Barça offices and has a contract until June 30, 2026, so, if Barça is willing to go for him starting next summer, they will have to negotiate with Betis. Both clubs maintain a very good relationship, especially since the arrival of Ramon Planes to the green and white technical secretariat. Abde, who signed this past summer with the Andalusians, is proof of this.
