Africa-Press – Mauritius. Liverpool have taken a major step toward landing Rodrygo, opening talks with the Brazilian’s representatives. While the Reds haven’t approached Real Madrid yet, they’ve shown growing interest in a player who may soon be shown the door at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Jr. dominating the spotlight, the role of Rodrygo role has diminished under new boss Xabi Alonso.
Last season, the 24-year-old still put up decent numbers with 14 goals and 11 assists, but his future looks uncertain. Xabi Alonso has no plans to make Rodrygo a key figure in his project, and Real Madrid’s top brass reportedly see him as the star to offload this summer. Despite previously stating his desire to stay, the Brazilian is now open to leaving — but only for a destination of his choice.
He prefers the Premier League, and Liverpool have emerged as serious contenders. With recent big-money signings like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, Arne Slot wants to keep building a dynamic squad — and Rodrygo could be next. Talks between the player’s entourage and Liverpool are ongoing, and the Merseyside club are preparing for what could be one of the summer’s biggest moves.
