Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho remains confident in his squad's strength despite missing out on Spain captain Rodri, revealing that while the club submitted "a very good offer" for the star midfielder, hesitation on the player's part led Madrid to move on.

Rodri completed his transfer from Manchester City to Barcelona on Tuesday. Mourinho, returning for a second managerial spell at the Bernabeu, disclosed that he held two conversations with the World Cup standout. However, the Portuguese coach grew concerned over the midfielder's lack of total commitment to the project.
