José Rodríguez

José da Silva Rodríguez (born April 9, 1997), commonly known as José Rodríguez, is a Spanish professional football who plays as a striker for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and the Spanish national team. Prior to his move to Real Madrid, he played for Bundesliga side Bayern Munich and MLS Western Conference side LA Galaxy. Often considered as one of Spanish football's best strikers, Rodríguez began his successful career at LA Galaxy, aged 18, where he scored many goals and attracted attention to some of Europe's top clubs. Eventually, after wages were disagreed between the two sides, at the beginning of the summer transfer window in July 2016, he moved to Bayern Munich for £11,500,000, making him the most expensive Spanish teenager in the history of the beautiful game. After a successful stint in his debut season leading to Bayern receiving the Bundesliga title, Rodríguez scored the two winning goals in a 2-0 victory over FC Barcelona to secure a Champions Cup for Bayern as well as the league title once again. His second season at Bayern Munich was plauged by the club's new signings giving less playtime to the valuable player. Understandably distraught, Rodríguez sent an email to Pep Guardiola, the manager of Bayern at the time, requesting playtime or that the player would request a transfer, or refuse a new contract. Guardiola ignored this, and with another month of no games, Rodríguez handed in a transfer request: this was denied by Pep, claiming Rodríguez was "out of his mind that he deserved first team football so early on in his life." Rodríguez was so infuriated, that his agent immediately began talks with Real Madrid, as the club showed interest and his contract was due to expire on January 1, 2018. Rodríguez eventually got his transfer wish and a contract extension of a year so Bayern could profit from him. Real Madrid put in an offer of £34m for the striker, which was accepted by Bayern Munich. However, Guardiola regretted this choice and attempted to stop Rodríguez from signing the deal with RM. However, that failed and on January 31, he signed for Real Madrid. (wip)
