The City Football Group is close to signing Liverpool and Uruguay winger Luciano Rodriguez, continuing their trend of acquiring South American talent. With success stories like Yan Couto and Savio, City Group aims to develop young players within their network of clubs. Rodriguez has attracted interest from other clubs like Palmeiras but is reportedly more tempted by a move to Europe.

Rodriguez is on the verge of joining Girona through a $15 million offer and securing a five-year contract. With 14 appearances for Liverpool Montevideo and a debut for the Uruguay national team, Rodriguez has proven himself as a promising talent. Having played for Uruguay at various youth levels and winning the FIFA under-20 World Cup, he is a player with potential for a successful future.

The reports indicate that Rodriguez is close to joining City Football Group, which could provide him with opportunities to further develop his skills and potentially move on to top European clubs in the future. With a successful track record of grooming young talent, City Group is an attractive prospect for Rodriguez as he looks to make his mark in European football.
