Rodrigo Zalazar, born on 12 August 1999 (age 26), is a Uruguayan attacking midfielder who has remained a regular first-team presence in 2025–26. His profile is not built on fuss, but on output, and his league form at SC Braga has given it a bit more substance.
The 2025–26 season was his most productive in league football, with 16 goals in 28 appearances for Braga. For a central attacking midfielder, that is a serious return rather than a decorative statistic. He has also been involved with Uruguay during the season, making two appearances in South American World Cup qualifying.
His current market value is around £15.5m, according to Transfermarkt. That reflects a player still in the thick of his career rather than one being judged on promise alone.
Zalazar’s career, at this stage, is that of an established professional with useful international exposure and a strong recent scoring season in Portugal. He remains relevant because he is playing, contributing, and doing enough to stay in the conversation.
