Supporters of Leeds United have recently reacted to a transfer claim which has emerged regarding Spanish striker Rodrigo.
According to TuttoNapoli, as cited by TEAMtalk, the Whites’ forward is a possible transfer target for Atletico Madrid during the January transfer window.
Supposedly, the La Liga club is eyeing a move for a striker after the release of Diego Costa and they want a player who has previously played in Spain.
On the list of options alongside Rodrigo is Raul de Tomas of Espanyol and Loren Moron of Real Betis.
However, should none of those three options be attainable, then Atletico will attempt to sign Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik from Napoli.
This report was shared to Leeds fans on Twitter by LeedsUnited.News and it had lots of them talking.

The 29-year-old forward only arrived at Elland Road during the summer transfer window, with the Whites having forked out £27m to sign him from Valencia (per Transfermarkt).

Since signing for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, the striker has made 14 appearances for Leeds in the Premier League, in which he has managed to score three goals but has not provided an assist (per WhoScored).
His performances for the Whites have been decent as he has earned a 6.66/10 average rating, making him the 12th-best performer in the league for the club.
