Javier Subirats has said that he does not think that Leeds United were Rodrigo’s first-choice club to join in the summer transfer window.
Rodrigo moved to Leeds from Valencia for a transfer fee reported by to be worth £26 million.
Valencia legend Subirats believes that the 29-year-old who can operate as a winger or as a striker is a good signing for the Premier League club, but he does not think that the West Yorkshire outfit who are rated at 29/20 by to win against Wolverhampton Wanderers next Monday was his preferred choice.
Subirats told: Finally, Rodrigo has gone to Leeds but not for the price that Valencia had been hoping for. But these are difficult times now, economically speaking, for the club.
I don t believe that Leeds is really the best choice of club that perhaps Rodrigo would have liked to have joined.
Regarding Rodrigo, in theory, I think he would have liked to have gone to one of the bigger clubs in Spain, which was on the cards before.
