Real Madrid plan to buy back Rodrigo from Benfica

Real Madrid plan to buy back Rodrigo Moreno from Benfica.

Rodrigo's form at Benfica has impressed Real chiefs and now plans are underway to bring him back to Spain in 2012.

It could prove difficult, however, after Real's deal for former Benfica fullback Fabio Coentrao. As part of negotiations, Real agreed to eliminate their €10 million option on Rodrigo.

Instead, it was agreed Benfica would give Real first refusal should they decide to sell the former Bolton Wanderers forward.
