Liverpool are actively weighing their next move in the transfer window as uncertainty surrounds Luis Diaz’s future.

With Bayern Munich and Barcelona circling, the Reds are exploring high-caliber options and Real Madrid’s Rodrygo has emerged as a serious name on the radar.

The Brazilian forward’s future at the Bernabeu appears to be slipping and Liverpool have now re-entered the picture in a bid to strengthen their attacking options before the new season.

Rodrygo is reportedly available for transfer this summer after falling down the pecking order under new manager Xabi Alonso.

Despite his experience and talent, the forward has seen limited minutes at the Club World Cup, sparking interest across Europe.

According to The Athletic, Real Madrid and Alonso are open to selling the winger and his representatives have contacted several clubs, Liverpool included.

Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea and Arsenal are also said to be part of the conversation, with the Gunners currently seen as the front-runners.

Liverpool face stiff competition but hold a long-standing interest in Rodrygo.

The player previously revealed in an interview with Goal on how close he came to joining the Reds in 2017.

He even turned down a concrete proposal due to his desire to first leave a mark at Santos.

As Liverpool consider replacements for Diaz, who has already agreed terms with Bayern, Rodrygo fits the profile of a dynamic, versatile forward with Champions League pedigree.

His comments last year, calling Manchester City “the best team in the world,” may tilt some expectations.

But Liverpool’s early contact indicates they won’t stay passive if the opportunity aligns financially and tactically.

With Diaz’s future still unresolved and Rodrygo’s availability now public, Liverpool’s recruitment team may soon need to decide whether to accelerate talks or wait as the market unfolds.
