In the 2022-23 season, Alvaro Rodriguez made an impression in Real Madrid’s first team after being promoted from Castilla. The Uruguayan forward scored against Atletico Madrid and impressed head coach Carlo Ancelotti with his overall performance.

Now, The Athletic reports that Rodriguez will be sold in the summer of 2024. Real Madrid is not considering a loan deal, as they intend to sell him with a buy-back clause set at 50% of his value – a strategy they have frequently employed in recent years.

Several clubs in La Liga and Segunda are keeping an eye on Rodriguez. The young Uruguayan talent also wants to leave to ensure regular playing time. Meanwhile, Real Madrid still wants to retain some control over Rodriguez’s future, as they believe he is a promising player.
