Everton have now been linked with yet another Leeds United player, with the Toffees now in advanced talks to sign Rodrigo this summer.
That is according to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, which even claims that a move could get across the line as soon as early next week.
It is no surprise to see Rodrigo linked with a move away from Leeds United this summer. The Spaniard’s form was one of the only positives from the campaign which ended in our relegation to the Championship.
Everton in advanced talks to sign Rodrigo
Rodrigo finished the season as the Whites’ top goalscorer. And given his wages, it is hard to imagine the 32-year-old staying beyond the current transfer window.
What few would have expected however, is for Rodrigo to potentially join Everton. But according to Tuttomercatoweb, the Toffees are now in advanced talks over a move for the forward.
In fact, it is even claimed that he could reach an agreement to move to Goodison Park next week.
Everton have already been linked with a host of Leeds players this summer. Football Transfers suggested that Jack Harrison and Willy Gnonto were targets for the Toffees.
Meanwhile, it has also been claimed that Everton want Joel Robles.
It is not clear what sort of fee Everton would potentially pay for Rodrigo. But the Toffees have not found the going easy in the last few windows. So it would make sense if they were looking at the players who had been relegated last season.
Rodrigo has proved to be a decent performer in the Premier League. And Everton absolutely need another striker this summer.
It is always dangerous to rule anything out in the transfer window. But it would take many by complete shock if Rodrigo decided to leave Leeds for Everton in this window.
