Real Madrid forward, Rodrygo has raised the alarm for Liverpool by implying that he may eventually leave the Spanish powerhouse.
Rumors of a potential transfer to the Premier League club were stoked when the Brazilian star recently expressed doubt about his long-term future at Real Madrid.
Liverpool wants to bring in Rodrygo to fill the spot that Mohamed Salah might leave. These two clubs have been in talks for a while.
With ongoing chat about Salah’s next move, which might happen next year, the Reds are keen to find someone new for his place.
Under Carlo Ancelotti, Rodrygo, 23, has emerged as a key member of Real Madrid’s squad. He was instrumental in their success which included winning the Champions League.
Since coming from Santos, he netted 54 goals and dis provided 41 assists. Rodrygo is a vital member of the team but his future at the Santiago Bernabeu is in question due to his recent remarks.

Rodrygo said, ” Anything can happen” in an interview with DAZN. “I may be in violation of my contract here but I’m not sure.” Later on he clarified saying “No, no. I intend to attend this club as I have always stated but we’ll see”. This uncertainty has raised rumors that he might be leaving.
Liverpool is leading the race to sign Rodrygo according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo which has added fuel to the flames. The possibility of Rodrygo’s departure from the team could be impacted by Real Madrid’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.
Rodrygo might face fierce competition for a starting position if Mbappe signs with Los Blancos which would make a transfer to Liverpool more alluring. A previous bid of about £103 million for Rodrygo was allegedly turned down by Real Madrid.
Salah’s future at Anfield is uncertain so Liverpool may put more effort into signing the young Brazilian in light of the possible lineup change for Real Madrid. Both clubs will be keeping a close eye on Rodrygo’s situation as the transfer window draws near.
