The Reds want to retain their Premier League title this term, and as long as their first-team squad manages to gel in a timely manner, it’s hard to see how they will be stopped.

One of the main areas Arne Slot has chosen to improve this summer is his attack.

And that’s because it’s clear that another world-class attacker needs to be brought in by Liverpool, which is why a move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo makes plenty of sense.

The attacker has been out of favour ever since Xabi Alonso arrived, and now, according to Brazilian journalist Canal do Nicola, it seems like the Reds have entered the fray for his transfer.

“Exclusive information, Real Madrid’s Brazilian striker is heading to the Premier League, the question is whether he will play for Liverpool or Manchester City,” he said via his YouTube channel.

“The two Premier League giants are the most interested.

Guardiola has been trying for a long time to sign Rodrygo, but Liverpool have entered the fray in recent days.

“[They’re] willing to make Rodrygo the replacement for Luis Diaz.

“The atmosphere for Rodrygo at Real Madrid since Xabi Alonso’s arrival is very bad, in Real’s debut victory against Osasuna this Tuesday, Rodrygo didn’t even leave the bench.

“A player valued at €90million (£78million), with a contract until June 2028.”

Not only is Rodrygo still just 24 years old, but he’s also a very versatile player.

In fact, he was that good that Neymar even said that the way he plays was a “joke.”

At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess how things will end up panning out for Liverpool and Rodrygo, but on the face of it, even for a fee of £78 million, it’s hard to think of a better replacement for Diaz than the Brazilian.
