Liverpool’s Interest: Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Rodrygo’s situation closely, especially with the uncertainty around Luis Diaz’s future. No official bid has been made yet, but the club is attentive to any developments.
Rodrygo’s Position: Despite having praised Liverpool in the past and acknowledging the difficulty of playing at Anfield, there is no indication that he wants to join Liverpool. His comments about Liverpool were respectful but not suggestive of a desire to play there.
Transfer Preference: According to AS, if Rodrygo leaves Real Madrid, he prefers to move to Arsenal, not Liverpool. Arsenal are currently the frontrunners, ahead of both Chelsea and Liverpool.
Real Madrid’s Price Tag: Madrid are demanding around €100 million (£86 million) for Rodrygo. Xabi Alonso, the new Madrid coach, has sidelined Rodrygo in favour of other attackers, opening the door to a potential sale.
Summary Quote from Rodrygo on Liverpool:
“Playing against Liverpool is always difficult whether with or without fans, but at Anfield even more.”
Conclusion:
While Liverpool admire Rodrygo and have entered the transfer race, his preference is Arsenal, and Madrid are holding out for a significant fee. Unless Liverpool escalate their interest and persuade the player, a move to Anfield seems unlikely at this stage.
