Liverpool rejects Rodrygo's signing, deal has hidden motives for its attack

Rodrygo is at the exit door of Real Madrid and one of the teams most interested in signing the Brazilian is Liverpool. However,  the English side is aware that signing the Madridist would mean a significant loss: Konaté. For this reason, and to avoid weakening its squad in the defensive sector, they have Alexander Isak from Newcastle in their sights.

This is a hard blow for the Merengue board because they expected the South American's departure could happen in this same transfer window. The footballer's lack of effort has been considerable and has the board and Madridists themselves worried.

Some even consider that the player's entourage is somewhat toxic, which is also a rather significant problem due to their influence. For this reason, the fact that a financially powerful team like Liverpool is completely passing on the signing is important.

Rodrygo moves away from Liverpool

Everything revolves around the name of Konaté, since the center-back is an extremely important player for Arne Slot and the British side in general. For this reason, losing him for the signing of Rodrygo, which as of today seems more like a gamble, is inconceivable.

Isak has become a goal-scoring machine at Newcastle United, being one of the most prolific forwards in the world. For this reason, Liverpool's bet is somewhat aggressive in order not to destabilize its squad.

Regarding the financial aspect, the fact that Madrid could lose up to €100 million (100 million euros) or more for the player is extremely difficult. This could help the club face a major operation such as signing a top-level midfielder or even Konaté himself.

Everything gets complicated

Florentino has a significant problem on his hands and it is clear that it won't be easy to try to convince Liverpool to sign number 11. Although there doesn't seem to be any other option but to try and look for a way to carry out the operations as they have planned. However, it is clear that the final word belongs to both Isak and the English side.
