Álvaro Rodríguez, born on 14 July 2004 (age 21), is a Uruguayan striker with Elche. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m), he plays with the obvious physical profile of a centre-forward, though his career is still in its early senior phase rather than anything more settled.
At Elche, wearing squad number 20, Rodríguez has remained a regular first-team presence in 2025-2026. It has also been his most productive league season so far, with seven goals in 34 LaLiga appearances. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in June 2026 while at Elche. For now, his story is straightforward enough: a young Uruguayan striker getting regular minutes in Spain, with his 2025-2026 season giving him a bit more substance than the usual transfer-window name.
