Álvaro Rodríguez (born 14 July 2004, age 22) is a Uruguayan striker with Bournemouth, where he wears squad number 30. A towering centre-forward at 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is valued at around £8.5m by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league campaign so far came at Elche in 2025-2026, when he scored seven goals in 34 appearances. That is still the clearest senior marker in a career that is developing rather than settled.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in June 2026, a brief transfer line rather than anything more substantial. By 2026-2027 he was involved at Bournemouth, making two Premier League appearances, one League Cup appearance and one Europa League appearance.
Rodríguez remains a young striker with a useful physical profile and a growing senior record. For now, his career runs through Uruguay, Elche and Bournemouth, with the Celtic link sitting as an unresolved note rather than a chapter.
