Tuttosport reports that Juventus is interested in Rodrigo Mendoza and considers his 20 million euro release clause affordable. Juventus has been scouting him during the current international window with Spain U21.

Tuttosport reports that Juventus has been following Rodrigo Mendoza since the U20 World Cup. The club is looking for opportunities and operations that do not disrupt the squad or the budget, which is reduced for the next session. Juventus is focusing on young, growing players, and Rodrigo Mendoza's profile fits this description.

Juventus is focusing on Elche's 2005-born playmaker, Rodrigo Mendoza, who was previously observed at the Under-20 World Cup and is a key player for Spain's Under-21 team. A report from Tuttosport states that Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested in the midfielder. It is reported that in the summer, Mendoza rejected offers from Como, Red Bull, and clubs in Arabia. Elche has renewed his contract until 2028, setting a release clause of 20 million euros that is considered negotiable. The central midfielder joined Elche in July 2023 and has scored one goal in nine LaLiga appearances this season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €9.00m.
