The attacking midfielder burst onto the scene at 2014 World Cup – notably, smashing home a stunning volley against Uruguay, which went a long way to earning him a £63m move to Real Madrid during Ancelotti’s first spell at the Bernabéu. Injuries ultimately stopped Rodriguez from reaching his potential in the Spanish Capital and he moved to Bayern Munich, where he continued to produce solid numbers but injuries were never far away.

The Real Madrid boss summed up Rodriguez in 2020 when he said: “He’s a great, talented player. He doesn’t miss passes, never loses control of the ball or wastes shots on target. He doesn’t play complicated football, he thinks of football as a simple thing.”

 

The 33-year-old is currently available as a free transfer, but his wages would be substantial and the club’s view on such a deal remains unknown. However, If he were to arrive at the City Ground he would be an inspirational figure for fellow attacking midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White, who undoubtedly benefit from working with one of the best midfielders of the last decade.
