Liverpool Enter Battle with Arsenal for Rodrygo in High-Stakes Transfer Chase
So, here’s the latest buzz from the football world—something that has certainly turned a lot of heads: Liverpool are officially in the race to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid. That’s right, the 24-year-old Brazilian forward, who’s been making waves at the Bernabéu for a few seasons now, could be heading to the Premier League. And not just anywhere—Anfield.
Initially, it was Arsenal who were linked strongly with Rodrygo. They’ve had their eyes on him for a while, and with their current squad transformation underway, he seemed like a perfect fit for Arteta’s vision. But now, Arne Slot has stepped into the picture and reportedly pushed Liverpool to act swiftly. And things are moving fast. Reports suggest Liverpool are prepared to do “everything in their power” to land Rodrygo, including sending representatives to Madrid in the coming days to open talks.
Why Rodrygo? Well, he’s versatile—comfortable playing on the right, left, or even centrally. That’s exactly the kind of forward Liverpool need right now. With Luis DÃaz potentially on his way out and strong links to Bayern Munich and Saudi clubs, there’s a real need to refresh Liverpool’s front line. Rodrygo fits that bill perfectly. Last season alone, he played in all three attacking positions for Real Madrid—12 times on the left, 10 as a central striker, and 31 on the right. That kind of adaptability is priceless.

And let’s not forget the bigger picture here. Liverpool have already brought in Florian Wirtz and are chasing Alexander Isak for a record fee. There’s talk of a brand-new attacking unit forming under Slot—Wirtz, Isak, Salah, and potentially Rodrygo. Imagine that firepower. With Diogo Jota’s tragic passing and Darwin Núñez also reportedly nearing an exit, there’s a real opportunity here to build a dynamic, modern front line.
Rodrygo’s future at Madrid has become uncertain under Xabi Alonso, especially after being benched during key Club World Cup matches. Alonso publicly downplayed it, saying it was tactical. But now, with Madrid open to offers around €100 million (£86.6 million), the writing may be on the wall. He’s clearly not untouchable anymore.
And this isn’t the first time Liverpool have shown interest. They actually tried to sign Rodrygo back in 2017 when he was still a teenager at Santos. At the time, Rodrygo chose to stay in Brazil and finish his studies, but he acknowledged that the Liverpool offer was a serious one. Now, eight years later, it seems the Reds are back—and this time they’re not playing around.
So here we are: two Premier League giants, Liverpool and Arsenal, possibly even Manchester City lurking in the background, all vying for the signature of one of Real Madrid’s most technically gifted attackers. If this move happens, it could reshape the attacking landscape of English football for years to come.
One thing’s for sure—this is a transfer saga worth keeping your eyes on.
