According to The Sun, Valencia striker Rodrigo will undergo a medical with Leeds United today.
After days of speculation, Valencia confirmed on their official website last night that they have agreed a deal to sell Rodrigo to Leeds.
The announcement noted that the deal is pending documentation and the medical, with Leeds closing in on a huge signing.
The Sun now claim that the deal is worth around £35million, and Leeds have scheduled his medical for today.
Additionally, Valencia have already found his replacement, with AS reporting that they will now accelerate their move for Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral.
Rodrigo, 29, will now become Leeds’ record signing, marking a huge coup for the Whites as Marcelo Bielsa adds a new striker to his ranks.
The Brazil-born attacker scored even goals for Valencia last season, but has bagged 59 goals in 220 games for the club in total.
A Spain international with eight goals in 22 caps, Rodrigo comes with great pedigree, and is a hugely exciting signing for Leeds upon their Premier League return.
