Liverpool has initiated communication with Real Madrid regarding the potential addition of a new star player this upcoming summer transfer window.
Despite uncertainties surrounding their managerial situation for the next season, Liverpool’s infrastructure is primed for an active recruitment period. Michael Edwards, back in his role with the ownership group FSG, will oversee what promises to be a busy summer as Jurgen Klopp concludes his nine-year tenure.
While Liverpool has historically leaned towards signing promising talents under Klopp’s guidance, their first major acquisition post-Klopp era might entail securing a bona fide European superstar. Reports from Cadena Ser in Spain, echoing earlier claims from Sport, suggest that Liverpool has reached out to Real Madrid regarding Rodrygo’s availability.
Rodrygo, who showcased his prowess with a decisive brace against Athletic Club, could find himself surplus to requirements at Real Madrid amidst the anticipated arrival of Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer, coupled with the emergence of teenage prodigy Endrick. Real Madrid purportedly values Rodrygo at €100 million.
Although several Premier League clubs have expressed interest, Liverpool’s pursuit of the 23-year-old Brazilian winger hints at a potential long-term plan, possibly as a successor to Mohamed Salah on the right flank.
While FourFourTwo speculates on Liverpool’s genuine interest, along with that of other competitors, it appears that discussions at this stage revolve around assessing the availability of the superstar, with formal negotiations contingent upon Real Madrid’s willingness to part ways with Rodrygo.
