According to Marca, Valencia star Rodrigo will cost Leeds United €25 million (£22.5 million).

It has been reported by the Spanish publication that Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa has shown real interest in the Spain international, who can operate as a striker or as a winger.

The report has added that the value of the 29-year-old is now €25 million (£22.53 million).

Stats

According to WhoScored, Rodrigo made 23 starts and four substitute appearances in La Liga for Valencia during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring four goals and providing seven assists in the process.

The 29-year-old also scored two goals and provided two assists in six Champions League games, and scored two goals in one Copa del Rey tie for Los Che this past season, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Leeds United?

Rodrigo is a very fast player who can play as a striker or out wide, and his versatility would make Leeds stronger.

The Spain international can score goals and provide assists, and he would be a very good competition for Patrick Bamford to lead the line for the Whites in the Premier League next season.
