Episode Vinícius Renews, Diomande Signs, Rodri Fumble Reaction
Real Madrid just had one of the strangest weeks of the summer.Diomande is officially a Madrid player, giving José Mourinho one of the most exciting young right-wing prospects in Europe. Vinícius Júnior has renewed after months of uncertainty and reported interest from Arsenal. But the deal Madrid seemed desperate to make at the end of the window, Rodri, slipped away to Barcelona.Jarod and Sid break down Diomande’s talent, the enormous fee and Roc Nation’s growing influence around Madrid, before getting into what the Vinícius renewal means for Mourinho, Mbappé and the dressing room.Then comes the bigger concern: midfield.Why did Madrid spend so much money rebuilding almost every other area of the squad while still lacking the controllers needed to dominate possession against elite opposition? And if Rodri ends up at Barcelona, does Madrid have another move left?Plus: Bernardo Silva, Florentino Pérez, Mourinho’s authority, Vinícius’ future, Barcelona’s midfield and whether Madrid are actually prepared to compete with Europe’s best this season.Become a Real Deal member for private episodes and access to the community.
