In each of his first three senior appearances for Madrid, Rodriguez has contributed a goal and an assist, displaying a keen eye for the net and establishing himself as a player to keep an eye on in the future.
Who is Alvaro Rodriguez?
The 18-year-old striker Rodriguez debuted for Real Madrid against Cacereno in the Copa del Rey on January 3, 2023. He isn’t on FIFA 23.
Since then, he has played for the team in two additional La Liga games, first contributing an assist against Osasuna and then scoring a thrilling equaliser against Atletico Madrid.
Before joining Real Madrid in 2020, Rodriguez, a young player, spent five years in Girona’s development programme. He was born in Spain.
Rodriguez has shown the most promise as a centre-forward, where his father formerly played. He is roughly 193 centimetres tall and capable of playing anywhere along the frontline.
Despite his height, the forward is surprisingly quick and can provide a strong finish with either foot.
Alvaro Rodriguez’s father, also a former footballer
Rodriguez is the son of former professional footballer Coquito, whose full name is Daniel Gregorio Rodriguez Lima.
Coquito represented Uruguay at the international level while playing for club Penarol in Montevideo, where he captured four league titles and two Copa Libertadores.
Rodriguez, a forward, has already played for two national youth teams and is starting to catch the attention of clubs.

In 2022, he participated in his first international competition with their Under-18 squad, which is where he was born. Rodriguez’s father was from Uruguay, so he was also eligible to represent that nation.
At the start of 2023, he made a lot of appearances for their U20 squad and scored five goals in his first eight games.
The attacker is still eligible to play for both sides until earning a senior-level cap, according to Joyce Moreno, his agent, who also states that Uruguay is his preferred international football team moving forward.
