Liverpool continue to be linked with a surprising move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo ahead of the summer transfer window.

Reports that emerged last month suggested that the Reds are considering a move to sign Rodrygo when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

Speculation surrounding this potential transfer stems from ongoing rumours linking Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.

It’s widely believed that Mbappe has already made the decision to join Real Madrid once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in the summer.

Consequently, there are suggestions that Rodrygo may reconsider his future if Mbappe indeed moves to the Santiago Bernabeu next season.

However, reports from Spain have provided updates on Rodrygo’s future, including Liverpool’s apparent interest in the highly-rated winger.

According to Spanish news outlet Cadena SER, Liverpool, alongside Premier League rivals Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City are “monitoring” Rodrygo’s situation in Spain.

He is not expected to leave Carlo Ancelotti’s side as ” the Brazilian player sees himself 100% at Real Madrid next season.”

Spanish outlet Sport earlier reported that Los Blancos are currently not open to discussing a transfer for the South American.

However, they might be inclined to enter negotiations if they receive an offer in excess of €100million (£86million).

He signed a new contract in November that binds him to the club until the summer of 2028

Rodrygo’s focus remains firmly on Real Madrid, where he has been a consistent contributor.

This season, he has been involved in 23 goals in 42 matches across all competitions, showcasing his importance to the team.

Liverpool’s transfer future is shrouded in uncertainty as Jurgen Klopp prepares to depart the club in the summer.

With Michael Edwards assuming the role of head of football for Fenway Sports Group, the club’s hierarchy is undergoing significant changes.

Additionally, Richard Hughes has been confirmed as the club’s new sporting director, following his departure from Bournemouth at the end of the season.

These developments mark a period of transition for Liverpool as they seek to navigate the challenges of player recruitment and squad management under new leadership.
