Liverpool Weigh Rodrygo as Isak Pursuit Reaches Breaking Point
Liverpool are bracing for a dramatic end to the transfer window, with reports suggesting Real Madrid’s Rodrygo could emerge as Plan B if their relentless chase for Alexander Isak collapses.
Arne Slot’s men have already overseen one of the busiest summers in Europe. Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez have all joined the squad, while high-profile exits — including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Jarell Quansah — have reshaped the team.
Still, the marquee addition remains missing. Liverpool remain locked on Isak, despite Newcastle’s public insistence that their star striker is staying put. Crucially, insiders maintain the player himself is eager for an Anfield switch, leaving hope alive for a late twist.
🚨 Plan B: Rodrygo Enters the Frame
If Newcastle refuse to crack, Liverpool could pivot to Rodrygo, with the Brazilian forward reportedly open to a move after struggling for regular minutes under Xabi Alonso.
The 23-year-old has admirers across England — Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham among them — but Liverpool’s need for a frontline boost could accelerate talks. Real Madrid are understood to value him at around €100m (£86m), setting up another potential blockbuster.
⚖️ Isak vs. Rodrygo — Different Weapons for Slot
- Isak: Premier League-proven, a ruthless finisher with speed and strength, capable of leading the line.
- Rodrygo: Technically gifted, versatile across the attack, and able to give Slot tactical fluidity.
⏳ The Final Countdown
With less than three weeks before the window slams shut, Liverpool’s forward puzzle remains unsolved. Whether it’s Isak, Rodrygo, or a shock alternative, the Reds look set to leave their biggest move until the very last moment.
👀 The only question: will it be Isak, the proven Premier League hitman, or Rodrygo, the Brazilian wildcard?
