After an incredible performance in the 2014 World Cup, and being the competition’s top goal scorer, Rodríguez left Monaco to join Real Madrid. During his time at the club, he’s helped Madrid win the Champions League back-to-back. Not too shabby.
Out of 77 appearances for Real Madrid so far, Rodriguez has scored 28 goals (about £2.25m each). However, it’s likely he’ll bring that figure down if he stays with the club.
