Dani Rodríguez reportedly feels upset about the additions of Rashford and Roony Bardghji. The player believed he could earn a place in the Barça first team.

There are many players who would like to be part of the first team of FC Barcelona. However, making a place in the Blaugrana team is not easy, and there is no shortage of members of the squad who cannot hide their discontent, as is the case of Dani Rodríguez.

In that sense, the player's anger is so great that, according to recent rumors, the forward has made it clear on several occasions during the 2024/25 season that the Primera RFEF did not meet his sporting aspirations.

However, during the past season, he was barely able to demonstrate his talent on the field due to the constant injuries he suffered, which prevented him from having continuity and kept him away from most of the official commitments.

The left winger in the 24/25 season was only able to participate in 11 matches (422 minutes), one of them with the first team. The '7' of Barça Atlètic scored 3 goals and assisted in 3 opportunities.

Dani Rodríguez conditions his continuity to a position in the first team

Now, after Barça Atlètic's relegation to Segunda RFEF, Dani Rodríguez has reportedly conveyed to the president, Joan Laporta, and Deco, sporting director, his firm position to continue as a Blaugrana only if the club guarantees him a place and number in the first team, something that has not happened so far and is unlikely to happen.

In this context, the attacker believes that staying one more season in the youth team would be detrimental to his sporting development, and he is fully confident in making the definitive leap.

Rodríguez was convinced that he had options to integrate into the dynamics of the first team under the orders of Hansi Flick, who, apparently, expressed to him on several occasions his satisfaction with the evolution shown in recent months.

It should be noted that the '7' of the Blaugrana youth team was able to debut with the first team during matchday 34 of LaLiga 2024/25, but had to be replaced in the 38th minute after suffering an acute dislocation in his right shoulder, from which he is finishing recovering.

Rashford and Bardghji, the additions that bother Dani Rodríguez

In this order of ideas, the player would feel betrayed after receiving positive comments from Flick and that the club finally ended up betting on signing Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji, which would completely close the door to a possible incorporation to the first team.

That is why, given the current scenario, Dani Rodríguez would be determined to leave Barça as soon as a viable opportunity arises during this summer market. The idea is that he can leave through a loan, and he would already be evaluating the proposals that have reached him.

The player wants to play in the First Division. His aspirations are high, and he would not mind moving to another country, as long as a team assures him that he will be important.

A few weeks ago, the left winger was linked with Tottenham, Athletic Club and his former team, Real Sociedad. However, 'the lions' were apparently the ones who had shown the most interest in the player. Do you think his discontent will lead to him leaving Barcelona?
