The Brazil international lasted just 63 minutes in Sunday’s 3-0 La Liga win over Real Oviedo, visibly frustrated after being substituted.
Rodrygo has reportedly instructed his representatives to secure him a move in the coming days.
Liverpool and Manchester City are believed to be his most likely destinations.
If the Reds abandon their pursuit of Alexander Isak and City allow Savinho to join Tottenham, a fascinating two-way battle for his signature could unfold.
Rodrygo is reportedly weighing up his options after being left out of Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for the upcoming international break – a snub that could boost Liverpool and other interested parties.
Despite Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso reiterating the 24-year-old’s importance following the victory over Oviedo, Rodrygo may look to take matters into his own hands.
He does not want to jeopardise his spot in the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
According to GiveMeSport, Liverpool are considering a deadline-day move for Real Madrid star Rodrygo if they are unable to persuade Newcastle United to part with Alexander Isak.
Arne Slot is determined to boost Liverpool’s attack after the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez.
Rodrygo could emerge as a target if the Reds fail to land Isak.
However, Hugo Ekitike’s promising start to life on Merseyside has eased the urgency for Slot to secure an out-and-out striker.
The 24-year-old comes at a high cost, earning nearly £350,000 per week with bonuses and carrying a release clause of over £860million, though Real Madrid may allow his exit if their terms are met.
