Liverpool have made a significant move to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes, who is reportedly closer to joining the Premier League champions than remaining at Real Madrid. According to Spanish reporter Siro Lopez, Liverpool have already approached Rodrygo and his agents, presenting an offer that the Brazilian player is happy with. If Liverpool’s bid of around £69 million (€78.8m, $91.3m) is accepted by Real Madrid, Rodrygo may not even participate in Madrid’s pre-season, which begins August 4 following their FIFA Club World Cup campaign. Rodrygo’s desire to secure a more central 'number 10' role, which is not available to him under Real Madrid management, further fuels his willingness to move.[1]

Rodrygo has had limited impact this season, making just one start and two substitute appearances during the Club World Cup run under coach Carlo Ancelotti, indicating his diminished role in the squad. This has seemingly prompted him to consider Liverpool’s proposition more seriously.[1]

Additional reports confirm that Rodrygo has approved personal terms with Liverpool, signaling that the deal is progressing on multiple fronts, with negotiations ongoing between the clubs.[2][3]

The prospective transfer aligns with Liverpool’s broader ambitions to reinforce their squad, although the club is also navigating complications in other potential signings, such as hesitation over paying the asking price for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.[1]
