In what could be one of the most surprising transfer developments of the summer, Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol has just revealed that Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is close to signing with Liverpool.
That’s right — the Brazilian winger may soon be wearing the famous red of Anfield, leaving the football world stunned.
Reliable reports suggest that Liverpool have been quietly working behind the scenes to pull off a major coup for the 23-year-old, who has achieved it all at Madrid but now faces uncertainty.
With Kylian Mbappé arriving and young talents like Arda Güler and Endrick rising through the ranks, Rodrygo’s position at the club appears increasingly vulnerable.
Liverpool have seized the moment.
New manager Arne Slot is reportedly a huge admirer of Rodrygo and has made him a top transfer target as the club transitions into a new chapter after Jürgen Klopp.
An offer of around £85 million has reportedly been made, and Madrid are open to discussions — especially if the player signals a desire to leave.
According to Solhekol, Rodrygo’s camp has already held talks with Liverpool, and agreeing personal terms is expected to be straightforward.
The Brazilian is said to be enthusiastic about the Premier League and keen to play a central role in Liverpool’s attack.
Should the deal go through, it could have a seismic impact on the European transfer landscape.
With Mohamed Salah’s future still unclear and the current front line aging, Rodrygo would bring much-needed youth, speed, creativity, and elite experience to the Reds.
