Rodrygo’s representatives have jetted into the UK to hold “talks” with interested clubs such as Man City and Liverpool over a blockbuster move, sources have told Football Insider.

Real Madrid are willing to listen to offers for the Brazil megastar in the final 10 days of the summer window.

Rodrygo is believed to be keen on a move to a Premier League giant who are competing in the Champions League.

Football Insider revealed that Man City have already agreed terms with Rodrygo ahead of a possible move, and they remain in talks over a move.

Liverpool are also among the clubs who have registered their interest in a deal for the 24-year-old, particularly following Luis Diaz’s exit earlier this summer.

Real Madrid are open to letting winger Rodrygo leave this summer if the price is right, with new manager Xabi Alonso not fully convinced of his role in the squad.

He was an unused substitute in Real’s opening fixture against Osasuna, further fuelling speculation that he could be on the move.

Football Insider reported on 3 August that Liverpool are considering a move for Rodrygo if they fail to land their top target, Alexander Isak, and now the recent update suggests the Reds may already be making steps to sign the Brazilian.

He has been at the Spanish giants since 2019 but has largely been a rotational option, falling behind Vinicius Jr.

He featured only once at the recent FIFA Club World Cup, and despite contributing to 25 goals last season, an exit appears increasingly likely.

Liverpool had been set to move for Isak this summer after an initial bid was rejected, but Newcastle appear reluctant to let Isak go due to a lack of replacements in the transfer window.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are also entering the race for Rodrygo.

Winger Savinho is keen on a move to Tottenham, which would free up space at the Etihad for a marquee signing following a summer exodus.

The two Premier League giants now appear to be competing for the 24-year-old’s signature, but whether either club meets Madrid’s valuation remains to be seen.
