Name: Rodrygo Silva de Goes
Birthday: 9 January 2001
Current Club: Santos

Rodrygo is a right-footed winger who plays for Santos in Brazil. The 16-year-old has excellent potential to go on and become a top player in world football. He made his Serie A debut in November 2017, aged 16, before becoming Santos’ youngest ever player to appear in the Copa Libertadores. Two weeks later he became the youngest Brazilian to score in the Copa Lib.

Rodrygo left Spain to sign for German champions Bayern Munich in 2024. He was bought for £61M and joined Bayern in an effort to make a bigger impact in European football. This he did, helping Bayern to a CL final where they lost to German rivals Dortmund though Rodrygo will be disappointed not to have won any continental silverware.

PSG signed a 30-year-old Rodrygo for £70M in 2031. In his time in France, the Brazilian made over 100 appearances but again fell short in Europe – they lost the 2033 CL final to Bayern Munich!

- Assists: 6
Rodrygo’s final club was Atletico Madrid who he joined on a free transfer in 2034. He made 22 appearances in his first season but was only used once in his second year. He retired at the end of his two-year contract.
International | Brazil
- Caps: 30
- Goals: 4
- Assists: 4
Rodrygo struggled to cement a first-team spot in Brazil’s first team over the course of his career due to the sheer quality of depth in his position internationally. He did earn 30 caps for his country and won two international honours.
