It's not Gyökeres: the player who leaves Rodrygo in Madrid is waiting for Liverpool's OK

Liverpool could sign one of the top-level strikers in the Premier League

Liverpool was one of the clubs with the most options to secure the services of Rodrygo Goes this summer. Once the sale of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich was confirmed, the Anfield side had to sign a replacement for the Colombian. After the arrival of Hugo Ekitiké, everything suggested that the favorite would be the Brazilian player, but the "reds" have had other preferences.

According to "Sky Sports" in recent hours, Anfield are preparing a major offer to secure the services of Alexander Isak. At Anfield, they are willing to complete their squad with a signing that would be around €120 million. The Swedish forward, who has had a very good season with Newcastle, is Arne Slot's number one target.

Rodrygo could stay one more year in Madrid

As the days go by, Rodrygo Goes is running out of time to play for a new team. So far, no offer has arrived at Valdebebas that can meet the footballer's financial demands or those of Real Madrid itself. In fact, according to several reports, the Carioca rejected a proposal from Tottenham a few days ago.

According to "Defensa Central," at Real Madrid they highlight that they are very calm about this situation. The technical department insists that the most important thing has already been done, which was to strengthen the defensive line. The additions of Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Álvaro Carreras were not a matter of chance.

Xabi Alonso is counting on Rodrygo Goes for next year, although the player will have to work hard to play. He is no longer at the same level as with Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazilian has a lot of competition and has been surpassed by some of his teammates.

€100 million or nothing at all

Florentino Pérez's plan is to ask for €100 million to let Rodrygo leave for another club. If the offer doesn't reach the mentioned amount, the president will not even bother to answer the call.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo keeps trying to unlock this situation in which he has found himself after a disappointing season. The Brazilian keeps working in the summer to change his situation, although the feelings did not improve much during the Club World Cup either.
