Real Madrid forward Rodrygo is once again in the spotlight, emerging as a potential target for Liverpool.

Manager Arne Slot has already bolstered his attacking options this summer with exciting new additions.

Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike both impressed during Liverpool’s final pre-season friendly against Athletic Club on Monday evening.

Slot has backed record signing Wirtz to replace the creativity in his team lost with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure to Real Madrid this summer.

The Dutchman said: “I think there’s always room for improvement in every department.

“Like I said, we’ve added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons.

So, Florian (Wirtz) has a lot of creativity in the final third.

“We’ve lost with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) a lot of creativity from the back?

Trent’s crosses and picking out runners was so special – I think Flo has this quality as well in a totally different position.

“But he brings that creativity, the pace of Hugo (Ekitike), the pace of both full-backs – Milos (Kerkez) and Jeremie (Frimpong) today.”

With Luis Diaz’s recent move to Bayern Munich, Liverpool may look to reinforce their forward line by bringing in another attacking player.

Rodrygo’s future is uncertain at Real Madrid, and he could leave the club amid interest from the Reds, Arsenal, and Tottenham.

The Brazil international struggled for game time at the Club World Cup under new manager Xabi Alonso.

According to The Athletic, Alonso is keen on bolstering his squad before the transfer deadline and will look to sign a replacement for Rodrygo if the Brazilian leaves Santiago Bernabeu.

The online news portal claims that the former Liverpool midfielder is ‘not entirely happy’ with the forward, who is working with his agent Pini Zahavi, over a possible exit, as he is not so sure about his role in the team.
