FC Utrecht eyes €3‑4m windfall as Rodriguez heads for Spain

In the bustling offices of FC Utrecht, staff members stare at a spreadsheet that shows a looming €3‑4 million inflow, the sum the Dutch club expects to receive for winger Miguel Rodriguez as he prepares to return to Spain, De reported on Tuesday.

The Domstedelingen had not recorded a financial windfall this summer, yet the same report indicates the club is now poised to collect a sizable fee for Rodriguez.

Trainer Anthony Correia has already secured the right‑wing position with Angel Alarcon and Adrian Blake, meaning the pathway is clear for Rodriguez to depart.

In addition, Utrecht have bolstered their attack by signing 19‑year‑old German striker Emmanuel Chigozie Owen.

Rodriguez arrived on loan from Spanish side Celta de Vigo in 2024 and a year later was bought outright for €1.25 million.

According to De , the forthcoming fee is roughly three times the amount paid a year ago, aligning with the €3‑4 million estimate.

The former Spanish youth international has featured in 64 matches for Utrecht, contributing 15 goals and four assists.

His contract runs until the summer of 2028, ensuring the club retains his registration for the next several seasons.
