NEW: Liverpool would make a move for Rodrygo if Luis Diaz leaves, according to Dario As.

🚨 Liverpool Eye Real Madrid Star Rodrygo as Luis Díaz Replacement — Dario AS Reports

Liverpool could be preparing for a major shake-up in their attack, with Rodrygo Goes emerging as a top target — but only if Luis Díaz departs Anfield this summer, according to a report from Dario AS.

🔄 Rodrygo the Contingency Plan

The Spanish outlet claims that Liverpool are monitoring Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid closely, and would make a concrete move for the Brazilian should Díaz leave, amid ongoing interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.

Rodrygo, just 24, is one of Europe’s most technically gifted wide forwards and has reportedly grown uncertain about his long-term role at Madrid following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, which could limit his minutes under Carlo Ancelotti.

While Rodrygo has publicly stated he wants to stay and fight for his place, Madrid are open to letting him go if the right offer comes in — a stance that has not gone unnoticed at Anfield.

🧩 Why Rodrygo Fits Liverpool

Should Luis Díaz leave, Liverpool will be in need of a high-caliber, left-sided attacker. Rodrygo offers:

• Elite ball control and one-on-one ability
• Versatility: can play across the front line
• Champions League pedigree
• Youth and upside in line with Arne Slot’s vision

Pairing Rodrygo with Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah (if retained) would make Liverpool’s front line both explosive and technically refined.

💸 Financial Implications

• Real Madrid value Rodrygo at around €80–90 million.
• Liverpool would likely reinvest proceeds from a Luis Díaz sale, with Barcelona reportedly preparing a €75–80M bid.
• With Slot’s Liverpool already spending heavily this window, a Díaz exit may be necessary to balance the books and make room for Rodrygo’s wage demands.

🗣️ What’s Next?

• Liverpool will wait on formal offers for Díaz.
• If he leaves, expect talks to begin swiftly with Rodrygo’s camp.
• Real Madrid, already stacked with attackers, would be willing to negotiate, especially if it funds future moves (e.g., Alphonso Davies
