Liverpool prepares to finalize the signing, Slot has given the green light and is leaving Madrid

In recent weeks, Real Madrid has shown its interest in Ibrahima Konaté. Although Liverpool has tried to renew the center-back's contract, he has rejected all the proposals. In light of this, meanwhile, according to what we know at Defensa Central, Liverpool has decided, with Arne Slot's approval, to sign Rodrygo Goes.

Arsenal and Manchester City were, until today, the Premier League clubs most interested in the Brazilian. However, Liverpool will join the race for his signing since Slot is fond of the player. Despite the inconsistent season he had with Real Madrid, Rodrygo remains a decisive player when he is at his best.

Although Rodrygo's departure would have been a heavy blow for Real Madrid in the past, the situation has changed. Xabi made it clear, during the World Cup, that he doesn't trust Rodrygo to be a starter, relegating and keeping the player as a substitute.

Rodrygo's new destination

Since 2019, Rodrygo Goes has been responsible for growing and standing out as a Real Madrid player. By improving his level more and more, Rodrygo ended up becoming, alongside Vinícius, a key figure in the team's attack. However, the last two seasons delivered by the Brazilian have left much to be desired.

While Xabi confirmed his trust in Rodrygo at the time of his presentation at Real Madrid, his opinion changed quickly.  This situation has raised several doubts regarding Rodrygo's future as a Real Madrid player.

At 24 years old, Rodrygo still has a wide margin to turn his situation around and return to his best level. However, given the signings Real Madrid has made this summer, selling Rodrygo could be key for the team.

The long list of offers

Despite having the interest of more clubs, everything indicates that the ideal destination for Rodrygo is the Premier League. Without having decided on a destination yet, Liverpool is a great option for Real Madrid due to the interest the club keeps in Konaté.
