Liverpool are actively monitoring the situation of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo amid growing speculation about his potential move to the Premier League this summer. Real Madrid is preparing for a crucial meeting with Rodrygo to clarify his future, as their new coach Xabi Alonso's rotation decisions have limited the Brazilian's playing time, particularly during the FIFA Club World Cup where Rodrygo was benched in most matches. Reports indicate Rodrygo prefers a move to Liverpool if he leaves Madrid, and the Reds have already held initial talks with the player’s representatives, though no formal contact with Real Madrid has been made yet.

Liverpool’s interest in Rodrygo could be influenced by the possible departure of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich. If Díaz leaves Anfield, Rodrygo is seen as a potential replacement, though some analysts view this as a gamble given Rodrygo’s inconsistent output compared to Díaz’s well-rounded form. Liverpool is competing with other European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Chelsea, all maintaining an interest in the winger.

Sources report that Rodrygo currently holds a long-term contract with Real Madrid until 2028 but faces uncertainty under Alonso’s management. His desire for more regular game time suggests that a transfer could be realistic, especially with Real Madrid appearing open to listening to offers this summer. Liverpool are keen to strengthen their attacking options under Arne Slot ahead of the 2025-26 campaign but are reportedly waiting on clarity about Díaz’s future before progressing a potential Rodrygo deal.

Despite the growing buzz around Rodrygo's availability, no official bids have yet been made by any interested clubs. The transfer situation remains dynamic, with key meetings planned in Madrid to decide the winger’s path forward. Liverpool's move for Rodrygo would represent a strategic but uncertain attempt to bolster their frontline amidst ongoing squad changes this transfer window.
