Rodrygo race intensifies

After an interview with DAZN, Real Madrid player Rodrygo has raised concerns in Spain that he would leave the team.

It was reported by Mundo Deportivo that the Brazilian made no assurances about staying in the nation’s capital.

“Everything is possible. I may be under contract here, but I’m not sure,” he remarked. “I’ve always said I want to be at this club, but let’s see.”

Rodrygo tells how, for about €3 million, he nearly signed with Liverpool at the age of 16.

Rodrygo, a forward for Real Madrid, has disclosed how, seven years ago, he was on the verge of joining Liverpool as a teenager.

Due to Kylian Mbappe’s presence at the Bernabeu, the Brazilian was speculatively connected to a possible £86 million move to Liverpool this summer.

Rodrygo would be open to leaving the Spanish city if Real welcomes another Brazilian sensation, Endrick, to further intensify competition for spots in their attack.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and both Manchester teams are reportedly keeping an eye on the situation, but they are aware that a deal would only be feasible if Real Madrid listed the player for sale or if the player requested to transfer.

The 23-year-old now disclosed how close he was to signing with Liverpool in 2017 in a new interview with the Guardian—for a mere €3 million!

“I didn’t want to close the deal, so we didn’t,” he said.

“Even though the offer was very good, I wanted to stay at Santos.” The professional path they had assured me of would have been excellent as well. In order to get ready for European football, I intended to complete my education in England.

Rodrygo would have only been sixteen at the time, so maybe staying in his native country made sense.

“Playing in Europe has always been my dream,” he said after spending €40 million to join Real Madrid two years later.

“Everything was excellent, but my yearning was more audible. My intention was to remain at Santos and create some history with the club. That’s exactly what transpired: I was able to realise my ambition of representing Santos. I did, however, come close to visiting Liverpool.

A possible Salah replacement?

It’s intriguing that Liverpool looked to recruit a “wonderkid” from Brazil because supporters have been saying they ought to be doing that more frequently, like Real and Man City have lately.

With 15 goals and eight assists for Real this season, the adaptable attacker may eventually be considered as Mo Salah’s replacement at Anfield.

Rodyrgo, a pillar of the Brazil national team, has the build to take Salah’s place, and at 23, he still has plenty of development ahead of him.

His current contract expires in 2028; he signed a new one last year. One to watch out for, maybe.

News of Liverpool’s $108 million transfer Real Madrid ace and a player Jürgen Klopp is passionate about cause ‘interest’

The most recent transfer rumours from Liverpool, where an offer for a Real Madrid player is allegedly being considered. Another player Jürgen Klopp is interested in is a potential Mohamed Salah successor.

Following the most recent international break, Liverpool will play again tomorrow when it hosts Brighton at Anfield. During the last weeks of his tenure as manager, Jürgen Klopp will want to send out his staff with a trophy or two for Liverpool.

There are a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes, with Richard Hughes slated to take over as the team’s new sports director in June and Michael Edwards appointed as FSG’s new CEO of football. The hunt for a Klopp replacement continues despite the fact that no new manager has been chosen as of yet, especially in light of Xabi Alonso’s decision to remain at Leverkusen for at least another season.

With Hughes joining the team and Edwards returning to the fold, Liverpool can start identifying transfer targets for the upcoming campaign even without a new manager. The transfer rumour mill will pick up steam as the season approaches its peak and then really pick up speed on July 1.

The Liverpool.com opinion on the transfer rumours that have been circulating around the Reds lately, including the possibility of replacing Mohamed Salah with a player from West Ham or Real Madrid, is provided.

Rodrygo (Madrid Real)

Liverpool may decide to let rid of Mohamed Salah this summer. The Reds turned down Saudi Arabia’s effort to sign Salah during the summer. It remains to be seen if, after a year, Liverpool will reject another try.

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo might be Salah’s replacement should he leave. The Brazilian has been a key member of Carlo Ancelotti’s team for the past two seasons, and according to Spanish source Fichajes, Liverpool may try to buy him this summer. Florentino Perez, according to Fichajes, would only take $108 million (£85 million/€100 million) for the 23-year-old.

This season, Rodrygo has made 29 appearances for Madrid in La Liga, tallying eight goals and supplying five assists.

According to Liverpool.com, Rodrygo might not be in the picture if Kylian Mbappé joins Madrid this summer as most anticipate. You never know what kind of impact that would have on the rest of the team. The Brazilian should be considered if Liverpool needs to replace Salah; but, if he wishes to leave Real Madrid is a another story.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)

Jarred Bowen of West Ham is another player who might take Salah’s spot. Fichajes claims that Bowen’s outstanding season, which has seen him score 14 league goals in 28 games, has piqued Liverpool’s interest in the Englishman. Jürgen Klopp has called Bowen his “favourite player” outside of Liverpool, and should Salah depart this summer, a move could be made for the 27-year-old.

Since Bowen recently extended his contract with West Ham, which doesn’t end until the summer of 2030, Liverpool would have to pay a high fee to recruit him. However, if Salah were to be moved to the Middle East, Liverpool would have a sizable sum of money, and Bowen might still be added.

According to Liverpool.com, Liverpool would probably want to sign one or maybe two players to take Salah’s place if he were to go. Even if Bowen has performed admirably, it’s unlikely that his signing would be enough to appease Liverpool fans in the event that Salah left. Moreover, Liverpool might decide not to transfer due to the obviously huge price tag.
