Rodrygo’s Future in Doubt After Arsenal Defeat: Liverpool Ready to Pounce
After Real Madrid’s crushing 3-0 defeat to Arsenal — drawing parallels to their infamous Bernabéu collapse against Ajax years ago — the club is not only licking its wounds on the pitch, but also bracing for major moves off it. The biggest headline? Rodrygo Goes could be on his way out.
Liverpool Make Their Move
Reports suggest Liverpool have identified Rodrygo as a key target to eventually replace Mohamed Salah. With Salah edging into the later years of his career, the Reds are eyeing a long-term successor who brings pace, flair, and big-game experience — and Rodrygo fits the mold.
Real Madrid Open to a Sale
- Florentino Pérez is reportedly open to letting Rodrygo go — for the right price.
- A fee of around €100 million would be enough to tempt Madrid into a sale.
- While Rodrygo has shown flashes of brilliance this season, there’s a sense that he hasn’t done enough to lock down his place in Madrid’s future plans.
Transfer Twist: Isak in the Mix
Liverpool are also keeping tabs on Alexander Isak, which could complicate the Rodrygo pursuit. Should they prioritize the Newcastle striker, Madrid might be left without a serious bid — or forced to accept a lower offer than expected.
Why It Matters
This summer could signal a changing of the guard at the Bernabéu. If Rodrygo leaves, the door could swing open for a new Galáctico, with the shadow of Kylian Mbappé once again hovering.
For Rodrygo, a move to the Premier League — and particularly Liverpool — might be the jolt his career needs. Under Klopp, his dynamic style could thrive, and he’d be stepping into one of the most high-profile attacking roles in Europe.
Bottom line: Madrid are listening. The ball is now in Liverpool’s court.
