Marcelino, according to 'Cadena COPE', had already had numerous conversations with the player and is fully aware of his departure. Valencia hope to obtain at least 50 million euros from his sale. His buyout clause is 120.
The Valencia striker came through the Real Madrid academy, but he completed his development at Bolton Wanderers. He caught Benfica's attention where he played for three seasons in which he performed at a great level with a total of 113 appearances.
In the 2014-15 campaign, Valencia signed the player, who has been very important for Valencia since then. This season, he has played 51 matches: the most he has ever played in one season. He found the net 15 times and gave 10 assists.
If this information is confirmed, Rodrigo would leave after one of the greatest triumphs for Valencia in the latest years: the Copa del Rey. Valencia had not won the trophy for 11 years and the striker was able to directly contribute to the victory as he scored one of the goals in the final.
