Chelsea and Manchester City are both reportedly eyeing Liverpool Montevideo attacker Luciano Rodriguez for a future transfer, setting the stage for a potential bidding war between the two Premier League giants.
At just 20 years old, Rodriguez has emerged as one of the most promising young forwards in South America, drawing comparisons to the legendary Luis Suárez by local media. His standout performances for both Liverpool Montevideo and the Uruguayan national team have garnered attention from top clubs.
Blessed with impressive shooting ability, dribbling skills, and flair, Rodriguez made headlines last July when he scored the winning goal for Uruguay in the FIFA U20 World Cup final against Italy.
Now, according to reports from HITC, both Chelsea and Manchester City are keen on securing his services. However, they may face competition from Eredivisie club Feyenoord, who have previously expressed interest in signing the talented Uruguayan.
Rodriguez’s current contract runs until December 2027, and he has already proven his worth on the field, tallying 11 goals and six assists in 38 appearances for Liverpool Montevideo. Additionally, his impressive form for the Uruguay U23 team, with six goals in five games in 2024, further underscores his potential as a top talent in the making.
