Rodrigo Mendoza, a promising 20-year-old Spanish midfielder from Elche, has caught the attention of Como 1907, an ambitious Italian project spearheaded by Cesc Fàbregas and Thierry Henry. With Mendoza's contract with Elche set to expire in June 2026, he presents a strategic market opportunity as he will be able to sign with any club without restriction in five months. Como 1907 is contemplating signing him this summer with the possibility of loaning him back, a strategy they have previously employed with other young talents. Fàbregas and the Como team are keeping a close eye on Mendoza's performance during Elche's preseason matches, considering him a potential asset for their team, which is focused on recruiting young players. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €1.00m.
