Liverpool plotting bold move to sign Real Madrid's Rodrygo this summer

Liverpool have expressed interest in signing real Madrid Winger Rodrygo this summer, according to the Spanish media, Sports World.

Last season, the Brazilian international enjoyed his most prolific season since joining Madrid from Santos in 2019. He registered 26 goal contributions in all competitions for Los Blancos and played a pivotal role in LaLiga and Champions League triumphs.

After the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Sports World Reports suggest Rodrygo could be sacrificed in attack to create space for the Frenchman, leading to speculation about his possible exit.

Although sources from the player and the club have ruled out any possibility of an exit, Liverpool remain interested in the Brazilian and are closely monitoring his situation in Madrid in the hope of signing him if “the door opens” this summer, according to the outlet.

Sports World He adds that the Merseyside club has as rivals Manchester City — who recently received a cash influx from the sale of Julián Álvarez to Atlético de Madrid and the Premier League The champions are keeping a close eye on Rodrygo, who Pep Guardiola “likes a lot”.

Rodrygo still has four years left on his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu and is valued at €110m (£94m). Transfer market.

Salah's replacement?

Mohammed Salah is now in his prime and while his performances are far from mediocre, it is pertinent that the club begin looking for viable replacements for the 32-year-old.

Rodrygo's performances are years ahead of his age, and the youngster is among the best wingers in the world.

Signing the samba star would make a lot of sense for Liverpool as the Reds would get a player who is more than capable of filling Salah's shoes and would bring that Brazilian flair back to Anfield that has been lost since the departure of Roberto Firmino.

With a reluctance to spend money on several occasions, it remains to be seen how quickly FSG will act to overcome a big-spending City and secure the signing of Rodrygo if he does end up leaving Madrid.
