The 20-year-old Uruguayan striker has acknowledged the need to seek regular playing opportunities elsewhere to foster his development.In a recent interview with ‘Post united’, Rodríguez expressed his ambition: “I am 20 years old, I think I have to leave, I can’t wait for the first team much more. I will follow my way with the aim of returning. My dream is to play at Real Madrid and I will fight to get it, but for that I have to leave.”

Rodríguez also commented on his relationship with the Real Madrid coaching staff, noting a greater level of interaction with Davide Ancelotti, son and assistant to head coach Carlo Ancelotti, compared to Carlo himself. “Ancelotti spoke little with me.
