Rodrigo has insisted he is focused on Leeds United while flirting with a possible return to Valencia. It has taken a while for the Whites’ record signing to justify his £27million price tag.
Like many foreign imports before him, the Spaniard needed time to adjust to life in the Premier League. However, a drastic improvement in 2022 has seen Rodrigo become an important player for Jesse Marsch.
With Patrick Bamford’s perennial injury problems proving Leeds’ kryptonite, the 31-year-old has spent most of this season leading the line up front. That faith has been repaid, too, with Rodrigo bagging nine goals to sit comfortably clear at the top of United’s goalscoring charts.
