Rodrygo to be discarded by Xabi Alonso Rodrygo, 24, has been of interest to the Reds since his teenage days at Santos back in Brazil. The forward has since gone on to superstardom in Madrid – winning two Champions League titles. But a change of formation under Xabi Alonso could end up squeezing the Brazil international out. Arda Guler is taking on greater prominence, Gonzalo Garcia is a star in his own right while Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham remain undroppable. Rodrygo is under contract at the Bernabeu until 2028 but the club could be ready to listen to bids.

Liverpool ‘informed’ of Rodrygo’s situation According to a new report in Fichajes, Liverpool are now among THREE Premier League clubs with an interest in adding Rodrygo in this window. “Rodrygo Goes has become one of the most coveted names in the summer transfer window, with three Premier League giants — Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool — battling to secure his signature,” a report reads. “Liverpool, for their part, don’t want to be left behind. Arne Slot, the new Liverpool manager, sees Rodrygo as an ideal reinforcement to boost the level of their attack. “They have already been informed about the player’s situation, and an offer may be submitted in the coming days.”
