Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are among the clubs who have been linked with Leeds United forward Rodrigo.
CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs has said on the Leeds United Ultras channel on YouTube that Aston Villa are interested in signing Rodrigo from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
Brighton and Hove Albion and Paris Saint-Germain are also keen on the Spain international, who can operate as a striker, winger or attacking midfielder.
Spanish and European giants Real Madrid have also been linked with the 32-year-old £100,000-a-week (Spotrac) Spain international.
Jacobs said, as transcribed by LeedsUnitedNews: “There is an opportunity for clubs to get a bargain.
“He is being looked at by a variety of clubs, PSG are one to watch, I’m told Villa are watching his situation very closely. Brighton are on the lookout. It is hard to see Rodrigo staying.”
Could Aston Villa sign Leeds United forward Rodrigo?
In our view, Aston Villa could be able to sign Rodrigo from Leeds United in the summer transfer window.
After all, Leeds will play in the Championship next season, and at the age of 32, the forward may not fancy a year in the second tier of English football, especially when clubs such as Villa, Brighton and PSG are interested in him.
While Leeds endured a terrible campaign last season, on a personal level, Rodrigo did well.
The 32-year-old made 23 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds last season.
Rodrigo scored 13 goals and gave one assist in those games.
