The Brazilian winger was linked with a move to Liverpool last year, and the potential to sign him in 2026 could appeal to the Reds, considering the lack of depth the squad has on the right side of the attack. Mohamed Salah is the only genuine right winger in the team at the moment, and he is clearly at the back end of his Liverpool career.

Jeremie Frimpong could be used on the right side of Liverpool's attack when he returns to fitness, but Rodrygo is clearly more proven in an attacking role and could be a wise addition to Arne Slot's squad. If the Brazilian's form doesn't pick up, though, a departure next year is a very real possibility.

The potential departure of Savinho, who nearly left City to join Tottenham earlier this year and has had a poor season, could open up a spot in Pep Guardiola's squad for Rodrygo.
