Álvaro Rodríguez, born on 14 July 2004 (age 22), is a Uruguayan striker with Bournemouth. At 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is an imposing centre-forward, the sort whose frame does some of the explaining before anyone gets to the finer points.
His most productive league spell so far came at Elche in 2025–26, when he scored seven goals in 34 appearances. That gave him a proper senior season to build from, rather than the usual packet of promise and borrowed patience.
Rodríguez has since moved on to Bournemouth, where he wears No 30. In 2026–27 he has made six Premier League appearances, along with two League Cup appearances and one goal, plus four Europa League appearances and one goal. Across all competitions for Bournemouth, he has 12 appearances and two goals.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in June 2026. His current market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Rodríguez’s career is still at an early senior stage: a tall Uruguayan striker, productive at Elche, now trying to turn Bournemouth involvement into something more settled.
