Fabrizio Romano confirms what's going on between Barça and Rodrygo: 'The negotiation...

The Italian journalist denies the rumors that have emerged in Brazil and assures that there is no possibility or negotiations

Amid the noise of the transfer market, Rodrygo Goes is once again in the spotlight. In recent days, rumors have emerged from Brazil about a possible interest from FC Barcelona in signing the Real Madrid forward. This possibility has caused a lot of controversy, but it has been completely denied.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, who specializes in transfers, there is no contact whatsoever between Barça and Rodrygo. “The rumors are false,” the Italian has stated on his social media. He adds: “Barcelona knows it's impossible to negotiate with either the player or Real Madrid.”

At the Catalan club, they are aware that they can't pursue such a deal. Not only because of financial reasons, but also due to the obvious rivalry. At Madrid, they also strongly deny any leak related to the player. Rodrygo has nothing to do with the rumors and keeps himself out of everything.

The Brazilian is making the most of his vacation. He has chosen to disconnect from soccer and not get involved in the media circus. He is with his family and friends, resting before returning to work on August 4, when he is scheduled to return to training with Xabi Alonso's team.

Despite the speculation, the player's idea is still to stay at Real Madrid. At least, for now.

Liverpool yes, Barça no

There are more solid rumors in England. Liverpool, which could lose Luis Díaz, has Rodrygo on its radar. Arne Slot's new project is looking to strengthen with a big star for the attack, and the Brazilian would fit perfectly.

However, Madrid isn't going to give him away. If a serious offer comes in that matches the footballer's value, it could be considered. Otherwise, Rodrygo will remain in white.

At Valdebebas, there is no discontent with the player, but they are asking him for clarity. If a top-level proposal arrives, there will have to be a conversation, but Barcelona is not an option. It wasn't, it isn't, and it won't be. For now, Rodrygo remains a Real Madrid player.
