Description

Ricardo Ivan Rodriguez Araya (born 25 August 1992) is a Swiss professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Torino and the Switzerland national team.

Rodriguez began his professional career at local club FC Zürich in 2010, having spent eight years in the youth setup. After breaking through into the first team at Zürich, he was sold to VfL Wolfsburg in January 2012 for £7.5 million. Rodriguez played 184 games across all competitions for Wolfsburg, scoring 22 goals and winning the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in 2015. In 2017, he signed for AC Milan, where he played for three seasons. He was also loaned to Dutch side PSV before joining fellow Italian club Torino in 2020. After his four-year stint at Torino, he joined Real Betis in 2024, guiding them to reach their first European final in the club's history.

Rodriguez has earned caps at every level of the Swiss national team setup, winning the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2009. A full international for Switzerland since 2011, Rodriguez has earned over 140 caps for the country. He was part of the Swiss team at the 2012 Olympics, and also represented the senior side at four FIFA World Cups (in 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026), and three UEFA European Championships (in 2016, 2020 and 2024). In 2014, he was voted Swiss Footballer of the Year.
