Liverpool have been linked with Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as they begin planning for life without Mohamed Salah, whose future remains uncertain as he enters the final year of his contract.
The Reds are exploring potential replacements for their prolific winger, with Rodrygo emerging as one option.
According to TBR Football, Rodrygo is aware of Liverpool’s interest but has no desire to leave Real Madrid as long as he’s part of the plans at Santiago Bernabeu.
At the start of the season, there were concerns that Rodrygo might be benched following Kylian Mbappé’s rumored arrival and Arda Güler’s rise.
However, Carlo Ancelotti has shown confidence in the young Brazilian, starting him in five of seven La Liga matches this season.
The report states that Liverpool have long admired Rodrygo and even inquired about him over the summer.
They also showed interest in his teammate Aurelien Tchouameni but were told neither player was for sale.
Although Liverpool’s interest has flattered Rodrygo, he is not eager to leave Real Madrid unless the club signals he is no longer needed.
As a versatile player capable of filling multiple attacking roles, Rodrygo remains a key asset for the Spanish giants.
If Liverpool are looking to bolster their attack, they may need to consider other options or hope Real Madrid changes its stance on Rodrygo’s availability.
