Liverpool has been one of the biggest movers in the transfer market over the summer so far, and their business has never ended. You can move to sign a new striker that appears to be set on Hugo Ekitike, as well as bring in a left winger to replace Luis Diaz.
Diaz has attracted a lot of interest from Bayern Munich and Liverpool is keen to keep Colombia internationally, but they sell at a reasonable price. And if he leaves, they already line up his replacements: Rodrigo goes.
Rodrigo, who has also been attracting attention from Arsenal, is deeply linked to leaving Real Madrid this summer, when he played little in the recent Club World Cup. And Liverpool is on the move, anticipating his departure.
Liverpool and Real Madrid spoke about Rodrigo’s deal
As reported by Talksport, Liverpool had preliminary club-to-club discussions with Real Madrid officials about possible deals for Rodrigo, depending on how La Liga Giants is open to sales.
Liverpool must have the money to go to Rodrigo, despite being expected to spend more than £70/75m on Ekitique. And if they can secure an agreement with Real Madrid, it would be another deliberate statement made by Premier League champions who have already brought in Florian Wiltz, Milos Kerquez, Jeremy Fripon and others.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will be able to agree to a deal with Real Madrid, which can take advantage of Ibrahi Maconate, which they want to sign as the new starting central defender during discussion. However, for now, no specific speech is expected until Diaz’s departure.
