🚨 Rodrygo Chooses Liverpool Over Manchester City
Real Madrid’s Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes has decided to leave the Bernabéu after failing to receive assurances over playing time from head coach Xabi Alonso.
The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a Premier League move all summer, with both Manchester City and Liverpool pushing hard for his signature.
City were long considered frontrunners, tabling a five-year contract offer and signalling their readiness to pay €100 million for the winger. But in a major twist, multiple reports — including ESPN — confirm that Rodrygo has chosen Liverpool as his next destination.
Last season, the Brazilian forward featured 54 times for Real Madrid, contributing 14 goals and 11 assists, underlining his importance despite often being rotated. However, his limited role at the Club World Cup, where he started just once and was benched for the semi-final defeat to PSG, left him frustrated.
Spanish outlet AS reported last month that Rodrygo was among a shortlist of players Alonso was prepared to let go as part of a squad reshuffle, further fuelling speculation of his departure.
Now, his decision to commit to Liverpool over Pep Guardiola’s side marks a turning point — both for his career and for the Premier League title race. With Arne Slot eager to add pace and creativity to his attack, Rodrygo could become a central figure in Liverpool’s new era.
