Rodriguez reached double-digit goals for the first time with NYC FC, averaging 2.2 chances and 4.6 crosses per match.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On his way to Brazil?
Rodriguez might not play for New York City FC during the 2023 MLS season since Bahia want to sign him, according to Tom Bogert of MLSSoccer.com.
ANALYSIS
Bahia already secured a season-long loan deal for Nicolas Acevedo, who also spent last season with NYCFC, and now they've set their sights on Rodriguez. One thing that might ease the negotiations is the fact that both teams are controlled by City Group.
