Liverpool is preparing for their summer transfer business after securing their Premier League title.
The Premier League giants are ready to spend the big in the summer and provide Arne Slot with a platform to continue their successful spells.
The Merseyside Club is expected to lose Trent Alexander Arnold to Real Madrid after this season, so they are ready to test their luck by targeting the moves of Real Madrid superstars.
According to Givemesport, Liverpool was once again able to appear as a serious competitor and sign Real Madrid star Rodrigo.
The Brazilian’s incredible release clause is over £850 million, but multiple sources suggest that his future at the Santiago Bernabeu is not as secure as it once was.
Rodrigo, who joined Real Madrid from Santos in 2019, reportedly has been experiencing his most difficult time since his arrival in the Spanish capital.
When considered a long-term pillar of the club’s offensive lineup, he finds himself increasingly on the sidelines now.
The emergence and domination of players like Kylian Mbappe, Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham have overturned the role of the 24-year-old, raising questions about his long-term future in Madrid.
Liverpool’s initial interest in Rodrigo was due to uncertainty about Mohamed Sara’s contract status at the club.
With Sarah’s contractual issues resolved, there’s no need for a player like Anfield’s Rodrigo.
However, the Reds are still interested in signing him. Because they see him as a long-term alternative to Egyptian attackers.
Liverpool has long-term interest in Rodrigo
Liverpool’s interest in Rodrigo is far from new. In fact, the club first chased him in 2017, but he was still a teenager in Santos.
At the time, Rodrigo chose Real Madrid, but Liverpool remained a worshipper.
Currently, Luis Diaz is gaining interest from both Barcelona and Saudi Arabian side Al Nasr, so Liverpool was able to see Rodrigo as an alternative.
In addition to signing new attackers, the Reds are looking to enhance their defensiveness and central offensive options.
