La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid are reportedly contemplating a summer move for 20-year-old South American winger Luciano Rodriguez.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Luciano Rodriguez is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Merengues are scouring the market for an offensive reinforcement heading into the summer transfer window. And the 20-year-old Liverpool FC Montevideo winger has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.
Who is Luciano Rodriguez?
Luciano Rodriguez is one of the brightest young prospects in his homeland. A native of Montevideo, the youngster spent his formative years in Uruguay, graduating from the CA Progreso youth division. However, he has risen in prominence since joining Liverpool FC Montevideo in January 2023.
The 20-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the last 15 months, becoming a regular for Liverpool FC Montevideo. Meanwhile, the young winger has already made his debut for Uruguay, turning out for his country for the first time last month. As for Rodriguez’s exploits in the 2024 season, he has four goals in 13 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, the player’s progress at Liverpool FC Montevideo has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. And Real Madrid might be his next destination heading into the summer transfer window.
Real Madrid interested
Kylian Mbappe will likely be Real Madrid’s star signing, with his arrival bolstering the offensive department. In addition, Endrick will complete his highly-anticipated move from Palmeiras in the coming months. However, widespread reports have linked Real Madrid with several attackers, particularly those who can play on the flanks.
Luciano Rodriguez is one of the players on Real Madrid’s radar. The Merengues hold a long-standing interest in the 20-year-old South American attacker, having monitored his progress for several months. However, it is unclear if a summer move to Real Madrid will see the light of day.
The Spanish heavyweights do not usually make multiple signings in a transfer window. So, with Real Madrid eager to sign Alphonso Davies and Leny Yoro apart from Mbappe in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if the 20-year-old Uruguayan international joins Los Blancos in the coming months.
