Liverpool signs Luis Díaz's replacement, it's imminent and leaves Rodrygo K.O.

Liverpool's transfer market has been simply impressive. After winning the Premier League, the club has opened its wallet to make major signings. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Liverpool has managed to reach an agreement to finalize the transfer of Alexander Isak.

An operation that completely rules out the signing of Rodrygo Goes for this market. After Luis Díaz's departure to Bayern Munich, the Brazilian winger was considered one of his possible replacements. Liverpool, over the past few weeks, had shown interest in acquiring the services of the 24-year-old player.

However, with Isak's imminent transfer, Rodrygo wouldn't have a place in the "red" squad. This leaves the Brazilian with fewer options regarding a possible departure from Real Madrid. Despite attracting interest from other clubs, Liverpool is one of the most relevant.

Liverpool's choice

At 25 years old, Alexander Isak is one of the best strikers in the Premier League. Signed by Newcastle in 2022, Isak has played 109 matches and scored a total of 62 goals. These are similar numbers to Rodrygo Goes, who has scored 68 goals and provided 51 assists in 270 matches.

Although last season wasn't the best for the Brazilian, his room for improvement remains high. In the 6 seasons he has played with Real Madrid, Rodrygo has been a decisive player. The key matches of the season, above all, are his specialty.

In addition, Rodrygo has extensive experience in major competitions. The 2 Champions League titles in his record clearly show this. Since he is a better option than Isak, Liverpool's decision is hard to understand.

The best option

Although Isak's talent is enormous, Rodrygo has proved to be a better player. Fast, clinical in front of goal, and with great ball control, Rodrygo has the qualities to shine in the Premier League. Even though the signing seems imminent, the fact that it hasn't been finalized gives Rodrygo some hope of being a "red".
