Claude Makélélé
On 4 August 2014, Rodríguez joined French side Bastia, managed at the time by former Chelsea player Claude Makélélé, on loan for the season. On 16 August 2014, Rodríguez made his Bastia debut in a 2–0 away defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, replacing Brandão with eighteen minutes remaining. On 8 January 2015, after only making four appearances at Bastia and failing to impress, Rodríguez's loan was terminated and therefore, he returned to Chelsea.
