Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Rodrygo is poised for a high-profile transfer to the Premier League amid increasing dissatisfaction at Madrid. Despite being valued at around €90-100 million and under contract until June 2028, Rodrygo has seen a significant reduction in playing time following the arrival of new manager Xabi Alonso, who has created a "very bad" atmosphere for the player at the club. Rodrygo was an unused substitute during Real Madrid's recent La Liga opener against Osasuna and has struggled for minutes during the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, stimulating interest from top English clubs.

Liverpool and Manchester City appear to be the leading contenders for Rodrygo’s signature. Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola has long sought to sign him, but Liverpool have recently entered the race, aiming to make him the replacement for Luis Diaz. Interest from other Premier League sides such as Arsenal has surfaced, with Arsenal reportedly considering a loan move; however, a loan deal seems unlikely given Madrid’s preference to sell and Rodrygo’s possible reluctance to join Arsenal due to squad competition.

The transfer fee demand has reportedly softened from an initial €100 million to a negotiable range of €70-80 million, improving Liverpool’s chances amidst competitive rival bids. Rodrygo’s role at Real Madrid has been affected by the club’s tactical changes after acquiring players like Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Despite his technical and physical strengths praised by experts, his reduced influence on the pitch has prompted the forward to consider a Premier League switch to revive his career.

Negotiations are ongoing, with Real Madrid keen to finalize a deal, and Premier League suitors eager to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window closes.
