It's safe to say that things haven't quite worked out in the way they were hoped or expected to since Leeds United completed a record £27million deal for Rodrigo in the Summer of 2020.
He arrived at the club as 'Spain's number nine' and was believed to have been signed as there were questions over Patrick Bamford's ability to adapt to the level of the Premier League after a difficult season in front of goal in the Championship.
Instead, Bamford started the season in red-hot form in front of goal and went on to score 17 times in the division, meaning Rodrigo barely had a sniff in his favoured position. Bielsa subsequently chose to utilise the Spaniard in an attacking midfield role.
