Signs long term with Bournemouth
Rodriguez signed a long term deal with Bournemouth after departing Elche, the club announced.
Analysis: Rodriguez scored seven goals and added five assists across 34 appearances for Elche last season, including strikes against both Real Madrid and Barcelona. The forward came through Girona's academy before joining Real Madrid's La Fabrica in 2020, making his senior debut under coach Carlo Ancelotti in January 2023 and scoring a dramatic derby equalizer against Atletico Madrid off a Luka Modric corner. He also spent time on loan at Getafe before his move to Elche last summer. Head of football operations Tiago Pinto praised his pedigree and potential, and Rodriguez is expected to add depth to Bournemouth's attack as the club prepares for a European campaign.
Scores opener
Rodriguez scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Girona.
Analysis: Rodriguez gave Elche the lead in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Girona on the final day of the La Liga season, firing a composed first-time finish past Paulo Gazzaniga in the first half after a headed pass from Pedro Bigas, a goal that ultimately proved enough to secure his side's top-flight survival despite Arnau Martinez's second-half equalizer. Rodriguez ends the 2025-26 La Liga season with seven goals, five assists and 33 key passes, delivering his most important goal at the most crucial moment of the campaign to help keep his side in the division.
