Asked if he would jump at the chance to join Madrid, he told the Spanish newspaper: No doubt about it, my answer is a resounding yes. He added: Playing for Real Madrid is my lifes dream. Itd be a privilege to play alongside so many stars. If it happened, Id enjoy it to the max. Its really flattering to know that a club of Real Madrids stature is interested in me. Itd be a dream to join the club of my dreams. I have a great deal of respect for other clubs and admire the good football they play, but ultimately Real Madrid are Real Madrid. Ive always had a thing for them, like I said before. Ive liked Real Madrid since the days when Zidane, the Brazilian Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Fernando Hierro were around. Ive been following them religiously since then. He said it would be a privilege to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and said Toni Kroos, who is expected to join from Bayern Munich, would be a great signing. Despite his desire to join the European champions, Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev said earlier this month that Rodriguez -- who signed from Porto a year ago -- was not for sale and the player accepts it is down to the club. Im eternally grateful to [Monaco president] Dimitry [Rybolovlev] and Vadim Vasilyev for the opportunity they gave me, he said. The club is building something big. Obviously it would be a dream for me to play for Real Madrid, but I will always respect my current club, who will have the last word on the matter.
