Rodrygo Goes

Much like Vinicius Jr was, Rodrygo Goes is something of an unknown entity to some. Whilst we see glimpses of his potential, it is hard to judge how good he is and will be. However, with rumblings from various places raving about his potential and clips of his brilliance, Madrid may have a superstar on their hands.

With 15 goals contributed in all competitions, the Brazilian seems to have a stronger finishing instinct that his compatriot, Vinicius Jr, which is something that may help his case in fighting for a place in Madrid.

Whilst excited for his arrival, I feel he is more likely to see a lot of time on the bench given the amount of players lining up for wide positions. He may have no luck as a striker either with Madrid likely to bring in a new forward. Perhaps a loan to a La Liga club would suit him best?

Verdict: Castilla or loaned out.
