Rodrigo Zalazar, born on 12 August 1999 in Spain, is a seasoned midfielder currently plying his trade for SC Braga. Standing at a decent 5ft 10in (1.78m) and tipping the scales at 11st 4lb (72kg), he graces the pitch in the number 10 jersey, showcasing an aptitude for central midfield.
Zalazar's credentials are further validated by a robust market value of around £15m, as indicated by Transfermarkt.
In the embryonic stage of his career, he made a modest entry into first team football with eight appearances for Korona Kielce in Poland in the 2019 - 2020 season.
The subsequent season found Zalazar wielding his prowess at St. Pauli in Germany. With increased exposure and a whopping 34 first team appearances, he began to leave his mark, netting the ball six times.
His stride continued unabated at Schalke 04 in Germany. The 2021 - 2022 and 2022 - 2023 seasons saw him amass an impressive 52 first team appearances and a respectably seven goals.
From there, Zalazar relocated his talents to SC Braga in Portugal, where over the 2023 - 2024, 2024 - 2025, and the current 2025 - 2026 seasons he has made a total of 84 first team appearances and scored 11 goals.
His participation in premier tournaments is noteworthy. The Champions League campaign of 2023 - 2024 had him starting in five matches and appearing as a substitute in one for SC Braga. The same team fielded him in two starting roles in the Europa League in that community year, and in the subsequent Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026, he amassed four goals in five starts.
