The representatives of a rumored Liverpool transfer target have advised him to leave his current club due to concerns over limited playing time.
Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has been linked with Liverpool for some time, and Anfield officials have recently inquired about the 23-year-old’s status, according to Graeme Bailey for HITC.
Spanish outlet Sport reports that Rodrygo is not convinced by assurances from Real Madrid about his role in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, especially with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
His representatives are considering a move to the Premier League due to concerns about his playing time at the Bernabeu.
Liverpool’s interest in Rodrygo has been persistent, although it has often seemed unlikely. However, Mbappe’s arrival may push Rodrygo further down the pecking order, and with Bailey confirming Liverpool’s inquiry, there may be more substance to a potential transfer.
Securing Rodrygo could still be challenging for Liverpool, as Real Madrid reportedly values him at over €100m (£85m), a significant portion of Arne Slot’s summer budget.
Rodrygo’s versatility across the frontline and his respectable goal tally of 17 in 51 appearances last season make him an appealing target.
While the transfer still seems improbable, previous transfer windows have seen bigger surprises, so Liverpool officials will be closely monitoring Rodrygo’s situation in Madrid over the coming weeks.
