On July 16th, AS reported Liverpool will do everything in their power to sign Real Madrid’s Rodrygo this summer.
Last week, we covered claims from Spain which stated the Reds will try to sign the 24-year-old if Luis Díaz is sold. RMC Sport also reported Liverpool have identified Lyon’s Malik Fofana as an alternative to Rodrygo.
Monday’s edition of Marca has a report on the possibility of the forward joining Liverpool.
The Premier League winners are working on closing the 28-year-old Colombian’s sale to Bayern Munich. Therefore, Arne Slot’s side pushing to sign the Brazil international is ‘not ruled out’.
Liverpool saw Trent Alexander-Arnold leave them for Real Madrid, and the two clubs could negotiate for Rodrygo and Reds centre-back Ibrahima Konaté in this window.
Real Madrid, according to Marca, believe it’s ‘seems increasingly likely’ that Liverpool will make advances to sign Rodrygo after selling Díaz to Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso’s side will return to preseason training next week, after participating at the Club World Cup. The newspaper reports the South American is still waiting to sort out his future and could hold talks with Real Madrid once he returns to training.
Apart from the Real Madrid player, the English champions also have Newcastle United star Alexander Isak as another target for their attack.
