Author of a great goal in last night’s beautiful 3-1 victory for his Torino against Milan, the veteran defense Ricardo Rodriguez (31 years old) now seems close to saying goodbye to the Granata. It is increasingly probable that the next match against Atalanta will be the Swiss international’s last as a Torino player. Not a trivial matter, considering that he is also the captain.
In fact, in the background there is a contract renewal which is going uphill. His agreement with the Granata expires on June 30th and so far attempts to reach new terms have always fallen on deaf ears. The request of the class of 1992, an increase compared to the 1.5 million euros net that he received, has not yet been accepted by the Turin management and the feeling is that the farewell now announced with Juric is another unfavorable element in the affair .
Rodriguez himself he in fact spoke in these terms about his current coach: “I love him, everyone knows it. In the end I stayed for him too. He knew of my quality. In the end I did everything for him, I stayed and I’m happy.” Still appearing fit, he could become an attractive opportunity at no cost in a few weeks’ time for any interested teams.
