Said to be interested in Rodriguez are Barcelona, Manchester United, Inter, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
But the 21-year-old is spending no time thinking about moving away from Porto at present, with his thoughts entirely focused on the Portuguese title race, which pits his side against Benfica.
