Wheels could start moving on the transfer of Rodrigo out of Leeds United in the coming days as his agent meets with the Elland Road hierarchy. The 32-year-old is expected to be one of the most likely departures from the Whites after relegation last month.
Rodrigo, a club-record signing in 2020, endured a challenging first two seasons with United, but blossomed in year three under Jesse Marsch. The striker’s 15 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions left you wondering about the club’s ultimate fate had he not missed five weeks through injury.
Even after his wages were sliced by around half after the drop, Rodrigo remains one of the highest earners at Elland Road. With one year left on his deal and an excellent season behind him, United are unlikely to make it difficult for him to leave.
