Liverpool have joined Arsenal in a competitive race to sign Real Madrid's winger Rodrygo, with the Spanish club reportedly setting a hefty minimum price tag of around £86 million (€100 million) for the 24-year-old Brazilian attacker. Rodrygo, who has played mainly on the fringes of Xabi Alonso’s plans and featured only briefly at the Club World Cup, is seemingly open to a move as Real Madrid look to balance their squad after his fluctuating involvement this season. Both Premier League giants see him as a versatile forward capable of playing across the front line. This interest comes amid Liverpool’s broader strategy to reinforce their attack following setbacks in pursuing other targets such as Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who remains off-limits to buyers. Following Isak’s rejection, Liverpool shifted focus to another attacking prospect, PSG’s Bradley Barcola, whose transfer would also potentially cost more than €100 million, although PSG are resisting letting the young star leave. Meanwhile, Arsenal has been active in the transfer market seeking to bolster their forward options, already engaging in talks for promising talents like Benjamin Sesko, targeting a deal that could approach €100 million. Arsenal also show interest in Ademola Lookman as a dynamic attacking addition, although his move is complicated. The ongoing tussle between Liverpool and Arsenal highlights the competition at the top level of the Premier League to secure high-caliber attacking players ahead of the new season, indicating significant financial commitments to strengthen their squads for both domestic and European challenges.
