Liverpool Eye Shock Move for Rodrygo Amid Real Madrid Exit Rumours – Talks Already Underway as Reds Make Direct Contact and Signal Readiness to Strike Liverpool are prepared to make a move for Rodrygo if the Brazilian forward opts to leave Real Madrid, with reports revealing that the club has already reached out to the player and made it clear they’re ready to move quickly should he become available.

Liverpool and Arsenal are closely monitoring Rodrygo’s 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 Madrid’s 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 player’s representatives, viewing him as a potential long-term replacement for Luis Díaz, who continues to be linked with a move to Bayern Munich. Rodrygo’s ability to operate across the front line and his top-level experience make him an appealing fit for Jürgen Klopp’s remodeled attack.

The Reds have already added several new faces this summer — Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez — but sporting director Richard Hughes remains intent on further strengthening the frontline following the exits of Darwin Núñez, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliott.

Arsenal are also keeping their options open. While Viktor Gyökeres remains their top striker target, the Gunners have held initial talks with Rodrygo’s 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 Rodrygo’s 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 €100 million (£86 million).

Rodrygo hasn’t made any public statements yet, but sources close to him suggest he is willing to stay — provided he’s 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.
