Liverpool set their sights on signing Real Madrid's Rodrygo
Liverpool they have supposedly set their sights on signing real Madrid star Rodrygo, according to a recent Spanish report.
After moving to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu from Santos in 2019, the Brazilian has enjoyed great success in the Spanish capital in recent years, winning multiple La Liga and champions league trophies and several other important competitions.
However, despite establishing himself as a key player for Los Blancos, the 23-year-old has continually been linked with a move away from the club following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the summer.
Liverpool previously expressed His interest in signing the South American this summer but the move ultimately did not materialize so he remained at Real Madrid.
Now, according to Central Defense (through Transfers), the 'reds' are still interested in signing Rodrygo and have pointed him out as an ideal option to replace Mohamed Salah – who could leave Anfield at the end of this season as he has entered the final year of his current contract.
Rodrygo to Liverpool
Liverpool are willing to “make a big investment” to lure Rodrygo to Anfield and this summer it was reported that Real Madrid wanted to be close. £134 million let your star man go.
The report says that closing this deal will not be easy for the Merseyside club, as Real Madrid are interested in retaining the forward, while he is willing to continue at Los Blancos.
The 23-year-old is comfortable playing anywhere in the front row, so could replace Salah should the Egyptian leave Liverpool and Rodrygo join before next season.
The South American is technically sound, can dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, has the ability to connect play, is efficient at set pieces, can create opportunities for his attacking teammates and can also finish off his chances.
Rodrygo is still very young and has not yet reached his prime. He is already a top-level player and can fit perfectly into any important team in the world.
It will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club finally chooses to formalize its interest in signing the Real Madrid star to strengthen the attacking department in 2025.
