Liverpool are reportedly close to signing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo after falling out of favor at the Spanish club. According to multiple reports, Liverpool have made contact with both Rodrygo and Real Madrid, offering the Brazilian star a project that excites him personally. An offer around £69 million (€78.8m, $91.3m) has been mentioned, which, if accepted, could see Rodrygo leave Real Madrid before their pre-season begins on August 4, 2025.

Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid has become difficult under manager Xabi Alonso. Despite making more appearances in the 2024–25 season than in the previous one, Rodrygo has failed to secure a regular spot in his preferred left-wing role, particularly with competition from Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. His role has been reduced further during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, leading to speculation about a summer exit. Reports indicate Rodrygo desires to play as a number 10, a role not available at Madrid, which has added to his motivation to leave.

Personal terms between Rodrygo and Liverpool are reportedly agreed upon, signaling progress towards completing the transfer. This move aligns with Liverpool’s ambition to strengthen their squad following their Premier League championship. Interest from other Premier League clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal has also been noted, but Liverpool appear to have made the most advanced approach.

The transfer would come as Liverpool seek to replace or supplement their attacking options, with Rodrygo seen as a high-quality addition. While negotiations continue, Liverpool’s determination to secure the Brazilian signals a potentially major signing ahead of the new season.
