His success has often had him compared to Carlos Valderrama and many believe Rodriguez to be the successor of Valderrama. Rodriguez is known for his incredible vision and techniques. He is considered to be one of the best playmakers in football.
After winning several trophies and gaining more and more popularity in Europe, by 2014 Rodriguez was picked up by Real Madrid for £63 million as his transfer fee. With this huge transfer fee, Rodriguez became the most expensive football player in Columbia, the spot which was initially taken by Radamel Falcao. He also became one of the most expensive players in the world of football during that time.
Before he went to Germany to play for Bayern Munich back in 2017, Rodriguez had also claimed the title of the La Liga Team of the Season in his first debut season. Then he moved on to Everton, the Premier League club on a completely free transfer. Even though he only played with Everton for one season, he accomplished a great deal with the club.
Rodriguez’s journey was of course still not over. In 2021 he played for a club in Qatar called Al-Raiyyan. He then played for Olympiacos, a club in Greece, back in 2022.
