In what is shaping up to be one of the biggest transfer twists of the summer, Sky Sports journalist has just confirmed that Real Madrid star Rodrygo is on the verge of joining Liverpool! Yes, you read that right — the Brazilian winger could be set to light up Anfield in the iconic red shirt, and the football world is in shock.
According to reliable sources, Liverpool have been quietly working behind the scenes to secure a sensational deal for the 23-year-old attacker, who has won everything at Real Madrid but now finds himself at a crossroads. With Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu and the continued rise of youngsters like Arda Güler and Endrick, Rodrygo’s role at Madrid is reportedly under threat.
Enter Liverpool.
New head coach Arne Slot is believed to be a massive admirer of Rodrygo and has made him a priority signing as the Reds enter a new era post-Jürgen Klopp. The club has reportedly tabled an offer in the region of £85 million, and Madrid are seriously considering it, with Florentino Pérez open to negotiations if the player pushes for the move.
Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol confirmed live on air moments ago that Rodrygo’s representatives have already been in contact with Liverpool and personal terms are not expected to be an issue. The Brazilian is said to be excited about the Premier League challenge and is particularly attracted to the idea of being a leading figure in Liverpool’s attack.
This move, if finalized, could send shockwaves across European football. With Mohamed Salah’s future still uncertain and age catching up with the frontline, Rodrygo would bring youth, pace, flair, and Champions League pedigree to Anfield.
