In-demand Benfica forward Rodrigo has admitted that he would like to play in another league, but stressed he would not view staying at the Portuguese giants into next season as the end of the world.
Rodrigo has impressed with the Lisbon side this season, something which saw Arsenal sound out Benfica about a deal in January and more recently, Liverpool, Inter and Roma become linked with the former Real Madrid starlet.
Benfica look set for a battle to hold onto the 23-year-old this coming summer, however Rodrigo is not cutting the figure of someone desperate to leave.
"I do not know what will happen next year", he explained to ESPN Brasil.

"I'd like to play in other leagues, but I really like my club and it would not hurt if I stayed here", Rodrigo added.
Locked down on a contract until 2019 in Lisbon, Rodrigo has found the back of the net eleven times in 24 games for Benfica in the Portuguese Primeira Liga so far this season.
The 23-year-old has also contributed three goals in Benfica's Europa League run.
