Earlier this week, Rodrygo hinted that he would go elsewhere for his future. The Real Madrid and Brazil star’s move to Liverpool has long been predicted.
Rodrygo, the star player for Real Madrid, has fuelled transfer rumours earlier this week, but he claims he has no desire to leave the Bernabeu. Although the 23-year-old has helped Real Madrid reach the Champions League final, his future is unclear for the upcoming year.
While an agreement has been reached for the acquisition of Brazilian sensation Endrick, Real is anticipated to confirm the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. Many are now wondering if Rodrygo is the one to clear the path.
Before settling at the Bernabeu, Rodrygo was linked to Liverpool back in 2017. However, he turned down the chance to transfer to Anfield for a meagre $3.3 million (£2.6 million/€3 million).
He has recently been mentioned as a possible long-term Mohamed Salah substitute, and this week Liverpool is on high alert. The Brazil international told DAZN that “anything can happen” and would not rule out leaving Real Madrid. I may be under contract here, but I’m not sure.”
According to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool is in the lead in the race to sign Rodrygo, with a record cost of $130 million (£103 million/€121 million) reportedly required. This summer.
However, the athlete has subsequently made those remarks clear, stating unequivocally that “some of my words were taken out of context.” I’m thrilled to be at Real Madrid; being here is a dream come true, and I have no intention of leaving. Let’s now concentrate on the 15th Champions League.
When Real Madrid plays Borussia Dortmund this weekend at Wembley, Rodrygo is expected to start for Carlo Ancelotti’s team. This season, he has already tallied 16 goals across all competitions.
