Liverpool and Arsenal are closely monitoring Rodrygoโs evolving situation at Real Madrid, as the Brazilian forward prepares for key discussions about his role under new manager Xabi Alonso. This update comes via transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Rodrygo, who was left out of Real Madridโs squad for the Club World Cup, is said to be reassessing his standing within the team. While his contract runs until 2028, internal debate persists over whether to keep him or entertain offers in what could be a major transfer move.
Liverpool have already initiated contact with the playerโs representatives, viewing him as a potential long-term replacement for Luis Dรญaz, who continues to be linked with a move to Bayern Munich. Rodrygoโs ability to operate across the front line and his top-level experience make him an appealing fit for Jรผrgen Kloppโs remodeled attack.
The Reds have already added several new faces this summer โ Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez โ but sporting director Richard Hughes remains intent on further strengthening the frontline following the exits of Darwin Nรบรฑez, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliott.
Arsenal are also keeping their options open. While Viktor Gyรถkeres remains their top striker target, the Gunners have held initial talks with Rodrygoโs camp earlier this summer and are still evaluating a move for an additional wide forward. With Noni Madueke already arriving, Mikel Arteta is considering ways to further sharpen his attacking depth.
Barcelona have also been linked with Rodrygo, though it remains unclear how serious their interest is at this stage.
According to Romano via his GIVEMESPORT newsletter, several top clubs are awaiting the outcome of Rodrygoโs upcoming conversations with Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are reportedly open to a sale if the 24-year-old expresses a desire to leave. The asking price is set to begin at โฌ100 million (ยฃ86 million).
Rodrygo hasnโt made any public statements yet, but sources close to him suggest he is willing to stay โ provided heโs promised a prominent role next season. With those assurances still uncertain, a potential transfer remains very much on the table, and movement could come swiftly depending on how talks with Madrid unfold.
