According to AS, the future of Rodrigo Mendoza at Atlético is uncertain. It is stated that Mendoza could leave the club, as Atlético has many midfielders. The coaching staff has to study whether it is feasible for Mendoza or Obed Vargas to leave or stay with the team. Mendoza is reported to have many interested clubs in Primera and was an important signing in the previous winter transfer window.

Spanish central midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza, 21, has many options to go out on loan in the summer market. He joined Atlético de Madrid in February 2026, but at the Metropolitano, they believe that it would be beneficial for him to join another team where he can get significant playing time next season to continue his development. His contract with the club runs until 2031. The Spain U21 international has a current Transfermarkt market value of €20.00m.
