With the characteristics he has as a player, he's someone that we feel really fits our model and culture at the Club.

Rodriguez arrives from Colombian side Fortaleza, where he made his professional debut at the age of 18 in May 2022. The winger recorded 12 goals and eight assists in 73 matches. His addition bolsters the right wing after Facundo Torres left for Brazil earlier in the transfer window.
