The Reds also further established their reputation as an excellent selling club, transferring Jarrel Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen with a buy-back clause.
Everything seemed to be a bed of roses for Arne Slot, with the team looking much more stronger despite the loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.
Liverpool now need to find someone of a similar profile who can provide depth in Arne Slot’s team.
Now, as per Defensa Central (h/t Liverpool Echo), Liverpool are interested in Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo and are planning a player-plus-cash deal that involves Ibrahima Konate in a bid to convince the Spanish club.
Los Blancos are interested in signing the French defender who is in the final 12 months of his Anfield contract.
As per the report, Liverpool are willing to offer Konate plus €35m in cash to convince Real Madrid.
Rodrygo seems to have fallen out of favour under the new Spanish tactician and this could be a win-win for both clubs.
Labelled “the most gifted player in the squad” by Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo’s talents need no introduction.
Much like Jota, he is capable of playing anywhere across the front line, although he loves playing from the left.
A hard-working attacker, Rodrygo would suit Arne Slot’s tactical setup and will be willing to press and track back to help out the team.
It would have been a cruel blow to him that Alonso used him so sparingly during the recently concluded Club World Cup and an exit this summer might be the perfect solution for him.
With Luis Diaz’s future at Liverpool far from certain and the player said to be negotiating an exit, that leaves Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa as the two options to play on the left wing for Arne Slot.
