A Liverpool star might be on Real Madrid’s radar as the Spanish giants reportedly look for a player to replace German maestro Toni Kroos.
Real Madrid already dealt a major blow to Liverpool earlier by pulling Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield before the FIFA Club World Cup.
After being humiliated by Paris Saint-Germain in the CWC semi-final, manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly looking for a midfielder with a profile similar to Kroos, who retired in 2024.
Meanwhile, Brazilian forward Rodrygo could leave the club as he’s reportedly unhappy with his game time.
New manager Xabi Alonso didn’t feature him in six consecutive matches during the CWC, and Rodrygo might now be eyeing a move away from Madrid this summer.
Reports suggest the Brazilian is open to a Premier League switch.
Currently, Arsenal and Liverpool are the top options for him, with the Reds possibly identifying him as a potential replacement for Luis Diaz.

Several Spanish media outlets have reported that Real Madrid are keeping an eye on Alexis Mac Allister.
The Argentine midfielder could be seen as a suitable fit for Madrid’s playing style and a possible successor to Kroos, according to Diario AS.
While Liverpool doesn’t want to sell the World Cup winner, if any negotiation begins, the deal might open around €100m.
On the other hand, as the Reds also want Rodrygo, reports suggest Madrid may start their asking price close to €100m as well.
Since both players have similar valuations, a swap deal could be on the cards — although there are no concrete reports of one yet.
It looks like it might be difficult for Madrid to land Mac Allister, as he’s expected to play a key role in Arne Slot’s plans for the upcoming season.
