Leaked reports about an Underground transfer for Real Madrid Top winger with John Henry and Perez making arrangements for the transfer and medicals readyš„ āI would love to play here, Iām not able to show my full potentials in Real Madridā Says Rodrygo Goes on an interview with Sky Sports this morning.
Liverpool have realized that signing one of their key targets this summer would require them to break their transfer record.
Under new manager Arne Slot, the team aims to continue building on Jurgen Klopp’s achievements at Anfield. The Reds are actively seeking reinforcements to compete for trophies in the upcoming season.
Despite a third-place finish in the Premier League and a disappointing Europa League campaign last season, Liverpool are keen to strengthen their attack. According to Spanish outlet Sport, they have their eyes on Real Madridās Rodrygo.
Both Liverpool and Manchester City are reportedly interested in Rodrygo.
Had the player expressed a desire to leave Real Madrid, Liverpool would have been prepared to offer Ā£100 million for him.
The 23-year-old Brazilian scored ten goals in La Liga and five in the Champions League last season, contributing to Real Madridās victories in both competitions.
Rodrygoās ability to play both as a striker and a winger has made him an attractive option for Liverpool.
However, Real Madrid is said to have rejected Liverpoolās potential Ā£100 million bid, demanding ā¬150 million (Ā£127 million) instead.
This fee would not only break Liverpoolās transfer record but also make it the highest transfer fee paid by a Premier League club.
Given the need for a new attacker, it appears unlikely that Liverpool will meet Real Madridās valuation.
Therefore, Liverpool might look at more cost-effective alternatives that align with Slotās approach. Slot aims to replicate Klopp’s success and will need new additions to the squad this summer.
