In a recent report, Defensa Central mentioned that Real Madrid are showing interest in Liverpool Montevideo striker Luciano Rodriguez. It has been claimed that Los Blancos are eyeing a move to secure the services of the Uruguayan youngster as they look to bolster their squad for the future.
Rodriguez’s Impressive Rise In Uruguayan Football
Rodriguez came through the youth ranks of Bella Vista before joining Atletico Progreso in 2020. He managed to break into their first team and managed to earn 54 senior appearances for the Uruguayan club, scoring seven goals and grabbing a couple of assists in the process across all fronts.
Rodriguez has caught the eye at times with his performances in Uruguayan football. However, he is still quite raw and would need time to prove his worth at the highest level.
The 19-year-old sealed a move to Liverpool Montevideo earlier this year but now it seems like he is on the radar of Real Madrid as well which is not a surprise considering his rapid rise in South American football.
Real Madrid Are Showing Interest In Luciano Rodriguez: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Rodriguez has a knack for scoring some important goals for his team and has got the vision to create some decent plays for others around him. The Uruguayan sensation is a technically gifted footballer but is still quite inexperienced at the highest level. He is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a wide player on either flank if his manager asks him to do so. However, it remains to be seen whether the gifted forward can make a smooth transition to life in Spanish football if Los Blancos manage to sign him in the summer.
Rodriguez is good enough to become a future star in European football if Real Madrid manage to get him on board in the future. He has what it takes to break into Carlo Ancelotti‘s first XI in the coming seasons.
Furthermore, Rodriguez could go on to become an ideal successor to Karim Benzema at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the long run. At 19, he has the potential to become a future star in Spanish football which makes him a decent option for Los Blancos to consider next summer. Rodriguez is undeniably a prospect to watch out for in the long run, so Ancelotti should focus on getting a deal done for him later this year.
