Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is once again at the centre of transfer speculation, with reports suggesting he could leave the Spanish giants this summer. According to ESPN, the Brazilian winger would prefer a move to Liverpool over Arsenal if he decides to exit Santiago Bernabéu.
Rodrygo, who has been a key player for Madrid in recent seasons, has found himself struggling for regular starts under new coach Xabi Alonso. The 23-year-old was even benched during the FIFA Club World Cup, sparking questions about his long-term role in the team.
Sources quoted in the report claim Real Madrid are open to listening to offers for the player, with an asking price expected to be in the range of €80–100 million. While several European clubs are monitoring the situation, Liverpool appear to be the frontrunners should a deal move forward.
Arsenal have also been linked with Rodrygo, but insiders suggest the North London club may not be pushing strongly, as they have already reinforced their attack in recent transfer windows.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that meetings have taken place regarding Rodrygo’s future. However, he also stressed that no agreement has been reached, and Madrid are not rushing into a decision.
For Liverpool, who are preparing for life after the Jurgen Klopp era, signing Rodrygo could add fresh pace and creativity to their attack. The Reds have been keeping an eye on opportunities in the market as they reshape the squad for upcoming seasons.
As things stand, Rodrygo remains a Real Madrid player, but his situation is one to watch closely in the coming weeks. Whether he stays in Spain or takes on a new challenge in the Premier League, the next chapter of his career promises to be an interesting one.
