Report: Liverpool greenlit to pursue stunning Rodrygo move following initial talks

Liverpool Ready to Move for Rodrygo as Real Madrid Opens the Door for Sale

In a stunning development, Liverpool have received the green light to pursue a move for Rodrygo, with Real Madrid reportedly open to selling the Brazilian star. This comes as the Reds continue their measured approach to transfers under Arne Slot, who made only one first-team addition last summer—Federico Chiesa. Liverpool’s strategy has focused on maintaining consistency, rather than making major splash signings, and it’s clearly paying off. They are currently leading the Premier League, six points ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand, and topped their Champions League group.

Liverpool have engaged in talks for Rodrygo, with Real Madrid now easing their position on a potential sale

Liverpool have been in talks with Real Madrid about a potential move for Rodrygo, with the Spanish club seemingly softening their stance on parting ways with the winger. There’s also growing speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah, whose exceptional form this season has made him a 3/1 favorite to win the 2025 Ballon d’Or. Ben Jacobs, a prominent transfer expert, believes that even if Liverpool renews Salah’s contract, it won’t prevent them from seeking his eventual replacement. Jacobs said, “In an ideal world, Liverpool renew Van Dijk and Salah, while simultaneously in 2025 looking to replace them… it makes the transition much more seamless.”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is looking to sign a new winger

If Liverpool secures Rodrygo‘s signature, there might be little need for a lengthy period of adjustment. According to Fichajes, Real Madrid has always viewed Rodrygo as a key figure, though “the situation could change” if offers come in this summer. There’s already talk of Saudi Arabian interest, with rumors of a €200 million bid. Los Blancos are expecting further suitors for Rodrygo as the transfer window approaches.

Previously, Spanish outlets Cadena Ser and Sport (via Sport Witness) have reported on initial conversations between Rodrygo and Liverpool, potentially as a fallback option if Salah does not extend his contract. With just three months remaining on Salah’s current deal, there’s a real possibility that Liverpool could target Rodrygo in the summer if they lose their star player. There’s even speculation that Rodrygo could slot into Liverpool‘s attack alongside Salah, given his versatility—he originally played on the left wing before transitioning to the right for Madrid.

Although Rodrygo has been valued at around €100 million, and he is ranked among the top right-wingers in the world, Liverpool faces stiff competition. A possible bidding war could emerge, with Saudi Arabian clubs reportedly ready to throw large sums at him. However, despite Liverpool‘s interest, the move remains distant at this point. FourFourTwo suggests that while there is a pathway to a transfer, the situation is still developing and a deal is not imminent.

Real Madrid could seek to spark a bidding war for Rodrygo

Moreover, the move for Rodrygo seems out of character for Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, who have earned their reputations by bringing in players before they become global superstars. Signing a Real Madrid player for a record fee would represent a significant departure from their usual approach.

As of now, Rodrygo is valued at €100 million by Transfermarkt, and attention will shift to Liverpool‘s upcoming League Cup semi-final clash with Tottenham at Anfield this week.

Liverpool poised to make major investment in world-class 23-year-old as Mohamed Salah’s potential replacement

Liverpool are reportedly keeping an eye on Rodrygo Goes’ situation at Real Madrid ahead of next summer, when he might be available for transfer.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Reds are prepared to make a significant investment in Rodrygo as manager Arne Slot seeks a major addition to his attack.

Liverpool ready to submit £50m offer for Arsenal target!

At just 23 years old, Rodrygo has already had an impressive career at the Bernabeu and is considered one of the club’s top attacking players, although his place in the starting lineup is less secure following the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick during the summer.

This shift in his role could present an opportunity for Liverpool to sign the Brazilian international, who is capable of playing both out wide and up front. Rodrygo could be an ideal candidate to potentially replace Mohamed Salah as his contract approaches its final months.

Salah, who will be a free agent in a few months, has openly stated that he has not received an offer from Liverpool and feels increasingly out of favor at Anfield.

While replacing Salah will undoubtedly be a challenging task, Liverpool might benefit from targeting a talent like Rodrygo, who has already won prestigious titles such as La Liga and the Champions League. At the same time, he remains young enough to continue developing.

Arne Slot has already proven to be highly effective with this Liverpool squad, making him an excellent coach to help Rodrygo reach new heights. The player himself may also be eager to move to a club where he can expect to start more frequently.

Salah’s recent remarks may suggest that he is unlikely to stay at Liverpool, which means it makes sense for the club to begin planning for a future without their Egyptian star.

Liverpool Makes Official Move to Acquire £33.7 Million Forward

Liverpool typically keep their transfer dealings under wraps, preferring to negotiate privately and only announce deals when they are close to completion. However, recent reports suggest a growing interest in Bundesliga striker Omar Marmoush.

The Egyptian forward has been impressive for Eintracht Frankfurt this season, tallying 11 goals and 7 assists in just 13 matches, statistics that warrant a significant move. According to Sport Bild, Liverpool has officially inquired about signing the 25-year-old.

With Mohamed Salah, arguably the best player from Egypt in the club’s history, currently on the team, Liverpool seems eager to build on his legacy with Marmoush. His contract runs until 2027, but Frankfurt might be open to letting him go for approximately £33.7 million. It remains to be seen if Liverpool will meet that asking price.

At 32, Salah may not have many top-level years left, as his contract expires in 2025 and he has yet to sign an extension, which could allow him to leave for free at the end of the season.

Overall, Marmoush would be a fantastic addition for Liverpool. While he may not directly replace Salah, he could still significantly enhance the squad. We will have to wait and see how this develops.

£83.5 million star ‘set to join Liverpool as Salah’s replacement’

Liverpool are considering several high-quality playmakers to succeed Mohamed Salah, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo once again in the spotlight.

During the summer, Sport reported that Liverpool made a €120 million bid for the South American talent, but it was rejected by Los Blancos. Now, the situation has evolved.

Le Foot Magazine’s latest edition (as shown in the image below) lists the top 50 forwards in Europe, with Manchester City’s Erling Braut Haaland ranked first. Mohamed Salah comes in at 12th after scoring over 30 goals last season, while Rodrygo is placed 17th.

Salah has been among the world’s elite players at Anfield, and only a world-class replacement could fill his shoes when he departs. His current contract has just over eight months left.

Rodrygo’s contract at the Bernabeu extends until 2028, and last season he played a crucial role in the squad that secured both La Liga and the Champions League titles under Carlo Ancelotti.

French sources suggest that with the additions of Mbappe and Endrick, Rodrygo faces a significant risk of reduced playing time, which has indeed occurred. This season, the 23-year-old has started 6 of 9 league matches, completing the full 90 minutes only twice.

Additionally, in the most recent Champions League match, Ancelotti chose not to substitute him in during the reigning champions’ loss to Lille.

Le Foot reports that he is “already announced at Liverpool to replace Salah,” and the £83.5 million+ valued player felt let down after failing to receive a Ballon d’Or nomination, unlike six of his Madrid teammates: Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham, Kroos, Carvajal, and Valverde.

Thus, Rodrygo may need a change of environment to solidify his status as a team superstar, and a potential move to Liverpool to take Salah’s place could be the solution. What do you think?

Fabrizio Romano reports that Arne Slot is thrilled with the ‘fantastic’ Liverpool player

Liverpool faced disappointment this summer after failing to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Zubimendi turned down the opportunity, leaving the Reds without a recognized defensive midfielder. Coach Arne Slot ultimately chose to work with his current squad, utilizing Ryan Gravenberch in the holding midfield position.

Arne Slot is thrilled with Ryan Gravenberch

Gravenberch has excelled this season, and according to Fabrizio Romano on the Here We Go Podcast, Liverpool is thrilled with his performances. Romano noted the sentiment of the Liverpool manager regarding Gravenberch:

“Zubimendi clearly rejected Liverpool in the summer, but the deal didn’t happen because the player wanted to continue there.

We will see what happens, but that situation remains quiet and also Liverpool and Arne Slot are very happy with Ryan Gravenberch; he is doing fantastic, he’s almost Man of the Match in every game, so for Liverpool, this is the best news possible.”

Ryan Gravenberch must maintain his performance

Ryan Gravenberch has emerged as one of the standout players in the Premier League this season. Recent comparisons to Patrick Vieira are fitting given his impressive performances. However, it’s still early in the campaign.

With just five matches played, Gravenberch must maintain this level of play to remain in the conversation as one of the top players. Consistency is crucial in the Premier League, and to be regarded among the best, he needs to deliver throughout the entire season.

Gravenberch has always possessed the talent; now it’s essential for him to demonstrate that consistency over the long haul.

Liverpool Transfer Update: Rabiot’s Salary Requirements Unveiled, Reds Eye Real Madrid Star

Here is your latest Liverpool transfer update for Sunday, September 8. The Reds are again connected with Jonathan Tah, Adrien Rabiot’s wage expectations have come to light, and Arne Slot is eyeing a Real Madrid player.

Jonathan Tah Linked with Liverpool

Liverpool, having previously shown interest in young Brazilian Vitor Reis from Palmeiras, are now reported to be targeting a more seasoned defender.

According to Christian Falk for CaughtOffside, fans should “keep an eye” on Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. The 28-year-old centre-back was notably linked with Bayern Munich during the summer, but the transfer did not materialize as Bayern did not meet his asking price.

Tah had been previously linked with Liverpool during a defensive injury crisis last year. Falk comments on this potential connection, noting: “In the far-flung future, they will need a successor for Virgil van Dijk. Jonathan Tah could be that for Liverpool. They are also on the table at this time.”

Serie A Midfielder unveils Liverpool Interest

Liverpool’s quest for a defensive midfielder, which ended in disappointment when Martin Zubimendi opted to stay with Real Sociedad, has now reportedly included Genoa’s Morten Frendrup.

Frendrup, on international duty with Denmark, addressed the speculation for the first time this week. The 23-year-old told Tipsbladet: “It is clear that it [Liverpool] is a huge club, but there is a long way from concrete interest.”

He added, “For me, it’s about doing it as well as possible. My agent has to take care of everything else.”

Frendrup expressed contentment with his life in Italy, having joined Genoa from Danish club Brondby in January 2021.

Rabiot’s Wage requests

Adrien Rabiot left Juventus at the end of his contract after making 35 appearances last season. He remains a free agent, largely due to his high wage demands.

The 29-year-old is seeking a €40 million package over three seasons, which would make him Liverpool’s second-highest paid player, surpassing Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Alisson Becker. Although Rabiot’s free transfer seemed promising given his European and international experience, his salary demands might hinder his chances of finding a European club, particularly as he seeks Champions League football.

Bayern Insider unveils Liverpool Fumble

Liverpool missed out on Brajan Gruda when the 20-year-old signed with Brighton earlier this summer. The German U21 player made a significant impact for Mainz last season, scoring and assisting in their 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg to secure their Bundesliga survival.

Christian Falk, writing for Fabrizio Romano’s daily briefing, confirmed that Liverpool had shown interest in Gruda but never made a “concrete” move. Falk also revealed that Liverpool was the only top Premier League club interested in Gruda, though there was substantial interest from other Premier League sides.

Liverpool Considers Real Madrid Star as Mo Salah Replacement

With Mohamed Salah’s contract expiring at the end of the season, Liverpool will need to find a high-caliber replacement if he departs. One of the ongoing links is Real Madrid’s Rodrygo Goes.

Real Madrid’s acquisition of Endrick and Kylian Mbappe could potentially push Rodrygo out of the first-team picture. Jude Bellingham’s early injury has delayed this issue for Carlo Ancelotti.

Rodrygo had expressed dissatisfaction with the situation in Madrid over the summer, and recent updates on his official WhatsApp channel indicated unhappiness with suggestions that Real’s new front line might include Bellingham, Mbappe, and Vinicius [BMV].

Liverpool’s acquisition of Federico Chiesa is justified after a more expensive alternative misses out on a Ballon d’Or nomination

Liverpool explored various forward options this summer before choosing to sign Federico Chiesa. An alternative option from Real Madrid, however, has been overlooked by the Ballon d’Or selectors.

This year’s Ballon d’Or will see a new winner, as Lionel Messi, considered the greatest of all time, and Cristiano Ronaldo, his closest rival, are both absent from the 30-man shortlist for the first time since 2003. Karim Benzema and Luka Modric, the only other active former winners, are also not on the list. Despite the absence of these prominent figures, no Liverpool players are among the nominees.

It’s understandable that Liverpool players, who added only a Carabao Cup to their achievements, might be excluded in favor of those who have won league titles or the Champions League. However, a player who could have joined Liverpool this summer—before the club acquired Federico Chiesa—had also secured those major trophies but was still passed over for players without such accolades.

In a slightly different scenario, Real Madrid’s Rodrygo could have been presented as a new member of Arne Slot’s team last week. Although linked with a move to Liverpool, Rodrygo chose to stay in Spain.

The Brazilian is unlikely to regret his decision, having secured the Champions League, La Liga, and UEFA Super Cup in 2024. Yet, he might question why players like Declan Rice or Harry Kane received Ballon d’Or nominations over him.

Considering the financial aspect, Liverpool would have needed to make a significant investment to sign Rodrygo during the recent transfer window. The 23-year-old, under contract for another four years, is valued by Transfermarkt at $122m (£93m/€110m), making him one of the 12 most valuable players globally.

Rodrygo also earns $268k (£205k/€240k) weekly, according to FBRef. This salary would make him Liverpool’s third highest earner even before accounting for the standard wage increase associated with such a transfer.

In contrast, Chiesa, who is tied for fifth in Liverpool’s salary rankings, was signed for a total cost of around $58m (£44m/€52m), including his transfer fee and add-ons—about half of Rodrygo’s value before considering his high wages.

While comparing the two players, Rodrygo’s injury-free record contrasts with Chiesa’s history of injuries. However, from a value-for-money perspective, Liverpool made a prudent choice. After all, neither player has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or.

Thanks to Kylian Mbappe, as Liverpool is ‘planning’ a double Real Madrid attack.

Ahead of Arne Slot’s debut season at Anfield, Liverpool has big intentions in the transfer market this summer.

Two Real Madrid players are on their radar following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Spain. Liverpool wants to take advantage of Kylian Mbappe’s sensational transfer to the Spanish city by recruiting Real Madrid players Rodrygo and Arda Guler this summer.

The former PSG star Mbappe will be joining an attacking group that already includes Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, making competition for spots in Los Blancos’ starting three next season intense. New Liverpool manager Arne Slot and returning CEO Michael Edwards will be looking to take advantage of the surplus, with the Brazilian and Turkish players in particular.

Real manager Carlo Ancelotti’s attacking options will be further enhanced by the impending arrival of teenage sensation Endrick from Palmeiras, giving Anfield fans hope that a trade for Rodrygo or Guler may be possible this summer. The Reds are evaluating the likelihood of reaching an agreement, according to Estadio Deportivo, however it’s still uncertain if Real will comply at this time.

With 15 goals and 8 assists in 47 appearances in the competitions last season, Rodrygo, 23, was a key player in Real Madrid’s victories in both La Liga and the Champions League. Guler, on the other hand, was much more of a supporting cast member, but the 19-year-old winger nevertheless left his imprint, tallying six goals in ten La Liga games.

With a strike from long range that hit the top corner to seal Turkey’s victory over Georgia in Dortmund on Tuesday, the teenager has emerged as a breakthrough hero of Euro 2024.

When Slot becomes leadership at Anfield, both players would be a huge asset to his offensive options. Restocking the attacking ranks is a top priority for Slot and Edwards this summer if the Reds are to compete for the Premier League title, with Diogo Jota sidelined by injuries, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz struggling for form, and Mohamed Salah’s abilities waning as he approaches 32.

Although a move for Guler seems optimistic, considering Madrid doesn’t seem to be under any pressure to let go of such a phenomenal young prospect, a move for Rodrygo seems more realistic. He may be moved out of Ancelotti’s starting lineup at the Santiago Bernabeu as he approaches his prime.

The 23-cap Brazil international may be drawn to a new challenge and a more prominent role given his three La Liga crowns and two Champions Leagues. UOL reports that Rodrygo may be forced to leave the Bernabeu this summer in order to prevent the possibility of a disappointing campaign in which he spends a lot of time on the bench.

The departures of center-back Joel Matip and midfielder Thiago on free transfers were confirmed at the end of the last campaign, meaning the Reds have not yet made their first summer acquisition.

Liverpool to offer £84 million to sign a forward compared to Mohamed Salah

Liverpool have made an offer to sign a player that Troy Deeney believes is better than Mohamed Salah.

A far cry from the days when Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and the Egypt international were Jurgen Klopp’s unconteste frontline, Liverpool’s attacking department is now rather uncertain, with questions about Luis Diaz’s future.

Liverpool may have made a significant bid for a Brazilian forward, according to Spanish media.

Liverpool make an offer to Rodrygo.

According to SPORT, Liverpool have made an offer of €100 million (£84 million) to buy Real Madrid No. 11 Rodrygo.

The Spanish news agency believes Real Madrid is willing to sell the Brazil international for €150 million (£127 million) – despite the additions of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick – but has rejected Liverpool’s offer.

SPORT feel Rodrygo would prefer to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, if it becomes clear that Mbappe and Endrick would take away minutes from him, the South American will want a transfer to the Premier League from Real Madrid.

Rodrygo impressed in the 2023/24 season, helping Real Madrid win La Liga and the UEFA Champions League for the 15th time, scoring 17 goals and giving nine assists in 51 games across all competitions.

As previously said, Deeney believes the 23-year-old is better than Salah.

Reds appear to be enamoured with the Brazilian.

Of course, managers and recruiting staff come and go, and transfer targets change all the time, but Liverpool appears to have been attempting to sign Rodrygo since at least 2019.

Elano, who was previously at Manchester City and Interim Manager of Rodrygo’s former club Santos at the time of his rise, told ESPN that Liverpool expressed “strong interest” in the attacker while he was still a member of the Brazilian side’s development ranks.

The 42-year-old stated that Liverpool was really interested in the child while he was in the lower categories (at Santos) and wanted to buy him, but the offer was too cheap. Then came the offer from Madrid.”

Liverpool have clearly adored Rodrygo for many years, and that admiration does not appear to have waned despite suspicions of this £84 million deal.

More news……

Liverpool is looking to sign a dynamic 23-year-old who has already expressed his desire to transfer to Anfield.

Liverpool simply must strengthen this summer if they are to bridge the gap with their Premier League rivals.

Jurgen Klopp won an important top-four finish last season, but new faces are required to take the team to the next level.

Champions League football is also returning to Anfield, and new manager Arne Slot will need a strong and capable squad to compete.

He has plenty of solid choices, but the Reds aren’t the entire package right now.

Several areas require improvement, but a player connected with Liverpool may help fix more than one problem.

Liverpool has set its sights on Feyenoord ace Lutsharel Geertruida.

According to AD, Liverpool are looking to capture Feyenoord star Lutsharel Geertruida in the summer transfer season.

Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and West Ham are reportedly interested in signing the 23-year-old ahead of the new season.

Geertruida, who has seven caps for the Netherlands, has made nearly 200 Feyenoord appearances.

This season, the player made 47 appearances, playing at right-back, centre-back, and left-back.

Lutsharel Geertruida may reunite with Arne Slot.

Slot, who has just recently left Feyenoord, certainly knows the defence well, and a reunion is already being discussed.

Geertruida is highly interested in working with Slot at Anfield, but whether the powers that be on Merseyside would approve the move remains to be seen.

He would surely improve the existing squad, with the Dutch international capable of playing in defensive midfield.

That adaptability might help fill a void at Anfield, as current defensive midfielder Wataru Endo could leave after just one season.

Furthermore, the Feyenoord player has extensive big-game experience, having faced Atletico Madrid, Lazio, and Celtic in this season’s Champions League.

Liverpool trade news LIVE: Luis Diaz ‘asking price determined’, Yankuba Minteh’s updates, Bakayoko links latest

The Liverpool Echo has all the latest Liverpool FC news, comments, and live summer transfer window updates.

Arne Slot has just finished his first week as Liverpool manager, and the gossip mill has been buzzing with transfer speculation.

The Reds are reportedly interested in Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh, who worked under Slot at Feyenoord on loan last season. According to reports, Liverpool is one of several clubs interested in the £40 million winger.

Liverpool’s interest in Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo continues, with reports indicating that the club is keeping an eye on his position. The emergence of Kylian Mbappe threatens to force the Brazilian out of the Real Madrid starting lineup.

Meanwhile, the ECHO hears that Sepp van den Berg is not close to completing a permanent move away from Mainz, where he was on loan last season. The centre-back, who has only appeared four times for Liverpool’s senior team since his 2019 arrival, is valued around £20 million, with Mainz still some way from that number.

Liverpool have expressed interest in Bakayoko.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool is interested in right winger Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven.

According to reports, up to six clubs are tracking the 21-year-old, who scored 14 goals and assisted 14 times in 48 games last season.

Liverpool are not understood to have made any progress towards his transfer yet, despite the apparent interest of multiple clubs in England and Germany, which might trigger a bid war.

Ederson’s price tag is ‘outlined’.

Earlier, we reported that Liverpool had not made a bid for Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

Corriere dello Sport reports that the Serie A club will examine offers in the €50 million (£42.5 million) range.

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle are reportedly keeping an eye on the Brazilian, who won the Europa League with Atalanta last month.

Mac Allister delivers an future update

Alexis Mac Allister believes he is satisfied at Liverpool, despite recent reports of Real Madrid interest.

The midfielder, who joined Anfield a year ago today, had a good season in red and is delighted with his current condition ahead of the Arne Slot era.

“Everything works well, it is not a club with big egos and everyone tries to help you as much as they can,” Mac Allister said.

Rodrygo’s updates

Rodrygo could leave Real Madrid this summer as a result of Kylian Mbappe’s arrival, according to reports.

The Brazilian has since been linked with Liverpool, with Manchester City being the most interested party.

Rodrygo, who will represent Brazil in the Copa America this summer, spoke up about the transfer rumours this week.

“At the moment, I have no idea what will happen. The way the [Feyenoord] supporters treat me is quite wonderful, but I’m not sure if I’ll go or stay. “We’ll see what the future holds.”

Luis Diaz’s asking price is’set’.

According to Diario AS, Liverpool has set a €75 million (£68.3 million) price tag for Luis Diaz in case any team wants to pursue his transfer.

Despite repeated ties with Barcelona, Liverpool are not in a haste to ensure his future with three years remaining on his Anfield contract.

Such a sum is likely to be prohibitively expensive for the La Liga heavyweights, who are grappling with spending constraints due of their massive debt.

What has Minteh revealed about his future?

Liverpool has been connected with an interest in Newcastle United winger Yankuba Minteh, who is reputedly valued at £40 million.

The 19-year-old attacker worked under Arne Slot while on loan at Feyenoord last season, and the manager praised his abilities, as seen in a previous article.

Minteh provided an update on his future last month, ahead of his return to St James’ Park.

He informed Voetbal International:

In the midst of Man City rumours and the Kylian Mbappe move, Rodrygo provides Liverpool with a definitive transfer response.

Last night, Rodrygo and Real Madrid won his second Champions League championship. However, Kylian Mbappe might challenge for his spot, leading to Liverpool transfer rumours.

Rodrygo, a standout for Real Madrid, has been linked to both Liverpool and Manchester City in recent months. Following the Champions League final, the Brazilian seemed to provide both clubs with a clear response.

After being a key player in both of those victories, Rodrygo has won his second European title since joining the Bernabeu. At first glance, it’s difficult to understand why he would be connected away at all. However, there will be fierce competition for positions with Kylian Mbappe’s expected arrival, since Vinicius Jr., the Wembley goal scorer, is a pretty permanent fixture on the wing.

Consequently, it is said that Liverpool ‘contacted’ Real Madrid in April regarding the player’s availability. Furthermore, it was being said just before the championship that Rodrygo himself was “aware” of the interest; in fact, he had made remarks that seemed to rule out leaving Real Madrid.

Regarding Manchester City, communication has gotten more intense during the past few weeks. The winger was “in the sights” of Pep Guardiola’s squad, according to Marca.

But according to Give Me Sport, Rodrygo gave his admirers a clear message in the aftermath of the championship. He seems adamant on staying, even if it means competing with Mbappe for a position.

“Some media outlets reported on bids, clubs, and interest this week. Rodrygo told reporters, “I don’t know anything about it and I’m not interested.” “Even if there are suggestions, I am unaware of them. I’ll be here. Here, I’m content. How am I going to quit Real Madrid?

After his contract with PSG expires on June 30, Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent, according to a story from the BBC earlier today. The foundation for this change dates back years, and it has been informally agreed upon since February.

According to Liverpool.com, significant trophy victories have influenced transfer decisions in the past. Without Istanbul, would Steven Gerrard still be playing in 2005?

In any event, Liverpool hardly ever signs players straight out of the big European leagues, even if Rodrygo had been on the move. He may have been better off staying with Manchester City, but all things considered, it’s probably a good thing.

However, given the circumstances surrounding Mbappe, Liverpool should keep a close eye on the outcome. After winning the Champions League, Rodrygo may not be able to consider leaving Real Madrid at this time, but he is too talented to not be starting most games.

Liverpool transfer news LIVE: £100 million Salah exit message, Rodrygo’s position, and Bryan Mbeumo’s move

Bryan Mbeumo

Current transfer rumours and live coverage of Liverpool, including news on Arne Slot, Joe Gomez, Bryan Mbeumo, Alisson Becker, and Luis Diaz

According to reports, Joe Gomez and Luis Diaz from Liverpool are the most recent players being pursued for a transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Gomez and Diaz, who have apparently “emerged as targets” for the Saudi Pro League as they continue to strive for household names in the football world, have reportedly been connected to teams like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks.

Federico Chiesa, a forward for Juventus, is reportedly once more on the radar. According to a recent source, Liverpool is reportedly “keeping an eye” on the player’s contract status.

Liverpool may save millions as a result of the Mbeumo deal.

Bryan Mbeumo, a winger for Brentford, has described being linked to teams like Liverpool this summer as “tantalising.”

He said to L’Equipe, “I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the best clubs.” “Seeing that some major clubs are interested in me is tempting. We’ll see.

The 24-year-old appears to be indicating that he wants to leave Brentford this summer, as sources indicate Liverpool is interested in him. There have been rumours that Luis Diaz is being watched by several European teams, leading the Reds to search for a winger under Arne Slot.

Liverpool battle for Mbeumo transfer

According to L’Equipe, Liverpool is interested in acquiring Bryan Mbeumo, a star player for Brentford, during the summer transfer window.

According to their claim, Newcastle is also in the running, and the Cameroonian international has hinted that it might be time to move on.

He stated to L’Équipe, “Yeah, I would like to play in the biggest competitions, at the finest clubs. I have spent five years at Brentford, at a club that has allowed me to improve and pass a milestone. Seeing that some major clubs are interested in me is tempting. We’ll see.

Rodrygo declared his transfer stance.

Rodrygo is anticipated to stay at Real Madrid this summer in spite of Kylian Mbappe’s arrival and other exit links.

According to trade expert Fabrizio Romano, the Brazil international is expected to stay in the Spanish capital despite suggestions that he join Liverpool, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

£100m Salah transfer message sent by Liverpool

A former player has instructed Liverpool to sell star striker Mohamed Salah in the event that a £100 million deal comes in during this summer’s transfer window.

This weekend marks Arne Slot’s official arrival at the team, and one of his first assignments will be to resolve Salah’s situation, since he has been connected to a move out. Saudi Arabia has already expressed interest, and the incoming Liverpool manager has been informed of the reasons it would be advantageous to split ways with him in the event that a three-figure offer was made.

“I genuinely think Mohamed Salah would be at the top of the list,” Nicol stated to ESPN. “Listen, I think you should accept it if you can get £100 million for him. A squad is what you need.
