In a major development that could mark the beginning of Arne Slot’s reign at Anfield, Liverpool have officially submitted a bid for Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes. The Premier League club has entered serious negotiations with Madrid to secure the Brazilian forward in what could be one of the headline transfers of the summer.
Sources close to the situation report that Rodrygo is open to making the switch. In a private conversation that recently came to light, the player shared his thoughts:
“I’d rather move to Liverpool than Manchester United. I’m valued and happy at Real Madrid, but I don’t want to be stuck on the bench. I know what I’m capable of. If Liverpool make a move, I’m open to joining them.”
Rodrygo’s willingness to leave stems from growing competition at Real Madrid, especially following the arrivals of Kylian Mbappé and young sensation Endrick, which could limit his time in the starting lineup. While he remains a fan favorite at the Bernabéu, he’s eager for consistent first-team football—something Liverpool are ready to offer.
Liverpool have been monitoring the 23-year-old for months. With Jürgen Klopp’s era now over, new manager Arne Slot and the club’s leadership are determined to make a big statement in the transfer market. Rodrygo’s skill, adaptability, and experience on big stages would make him an ideal addition to Liverpool’s attacking force.
Talks between the clubs are ongoing. While Real Madrid are reluctant to let him go, they might consider a significant financial offer.
If this deal goes through, it won’t just shake the Premier League—it will send shockwaves throughout European football.
