Real Madrid Star Advised to Consider Liverpool or Man City in Major Transfer
Real Madrid’s recent acquisitions of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick are speculated to open up opportunities for Liverpool or Manchester City to pursue a LaLiga superstar, reports suggest.
Mbappe and Endrick are expected to become pivotal figures at the Bernabeu under Carlo Ancelotti, as Real Madrid aims to solidify their position as a dominant force in European football.
The influx of these new talents could potentially reduce playing time for Rodrygo in the upcoming season, a prospect the 23-year-old Brazilian is eager to avoid.
In the 2023/24 season, Rodrygo made 51 appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid, showcasing his prowess with 17 goals and nine assists. Despite his significant contributions to Real Madrid’s LaLiga and Champions League triumphs, uncertainties loom over his future.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Ancelotti has provided Rodrygo with assurances regarding his role going forward. However, it appears that these assurances have not entirely allayed the young player’s concerns about his future prospects at the club.
Rodrygo’s representatives are actively exploring a potential move to the Premier League this summer, with Liverpool and Manchester City emerging as his preferred destinations over Arsenal and Newcastle.
Reports indicate that Rodrygo is being advised to seek a transfer if his playing time at Real Madrid diminishes. Despite his contract with Los Blancos running until 2028, any move will ultimately depend on the club’s decision.
Real Madrid values Rodrygo at over €100 million (approximately £84.6 million), presenting a significant hurdle for potential suitors.
Recent speculation suggested that Manchester City could propose a swap deal involving Kevin de Bruyne and Julian Alvarez for Rodrygo, although no concrete developments have emerged.
Liverpool, however, are unlikely to pursue a high-cost transfer for Rodrygo unless they part ways with one of their current wingers. Mohamed Salah’s expected stay at Anfield and Barcelona’s interest in Luis Diaz could further complicate any major moves for Liverpool this summer.
While Rodrygo is highly regarded, it appears probable that he will remain at Real Madrid and compete for his place for at least another season. His immediate focus remains on representing Brazil in the Copa America, with his agents exploring potential opportunities that he will consider once the tournament concludes.
