Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder Rodri said on Thursday that “European football is losing” with the departure of talented players to Saudi football.
“It’s complicated to do an analysis. It is obvious that European football loses in this situation,” Rodri said at Spain’s press conference ahead of the Euro-2024 qualifier against Georgia on Friday.
Transfers “completely understandable because of the amounts of money they offer,” concedes the Manchester City midfielder.
“We will have to somehow control this talent drain because at the beginning it seemed that it was the players at the end of their careers who were leaving, but now it is also the young players,” he said. he adds.
“These are respectable decisions, but we must take all possible measures to control this situation,” asked the English champion, who is among the candidates for the Ballon d’Or.
