Rodrygo — Brazil World Cup 2026 Squad

Rodrygo gives Brazil an attacker who can fit almost anywhere across the front line without looking borrowed from another position. He is 24, he plays for Real Madrid, and he has 57 caps and 20 goals for Brazil. That flexibility matters because Brazil's best attacks often come from quick exchanges rather than fixed roles. Rodrygo can start wide, arrive centrally, and finish with very few touches once the chance opens. He is also one of the cleaner connectors in tight spaces, which helps when opponents crowd the box and dare Brazil to force the issue. They have bigger names in the squad, but tournament runs usually need more than one forward playing at elite level. Rodrygo looks like one of the most likely to do it.
