Rodrygo will only leave Real Madrid under 2 conditions, if 1 is not met he stays

The Brazilian will only leave if it is to Liverpool, and the Anfield team will only consider signing him if they sell Luis Díaz

Rodrygo Goes's future remains a mystery. Although Real Madrid has left the door open to a possible departure, the Brazilian striker is in no hurry to seek a change of scenery. He only considers leaving under two very clear conditions, and if one of them isn't met, he will continue wearing white next season.

According to Defensa Central, "he will only go to Liverpool, and Liverpool will only sign him if they sell Luis Díaz." It's that simple and that complicated.

The player's decision is firm and he doesn't want to force an exit or accept just any destination. Liverpool is the only club that truly appeals to him, but the Reds have a plan that necessarily involves the sale of Colombian Luis Díaz. Without that deal, there won't be room for Rodrygo or a budget to pursue his signing.

Luis Díaz is the key to everything

The Colombian winger has been essential for Liverpool in the past season, but he has already expressed his desire to seek a new challenge. Bayern Munich has positioned itself as his main offeror. The Germans have already made a first offer, rejected by the English club, and are preparing a second proposal closer to Anfield's demands.

If his departure finally happens, Liverpool would activate the Rodrygo operation. Real Madrid has already set the price: between €80 million and €100 million (about $86.6 million and $108.3 million), depending on the variables. The club won't give away a player who, despite his dip in the past season, has been key in important moments and is only 24 years old.

He reflects on his future while on vacation

Meanwhile, Rodrygo remains silent. He is on vacation, but in constant contact with Madrid's sporting management.

He knows he isn't a starter for Xabi Alonso, behind Mbappé, Vinícius, and even Gonzalo García. However, the uncertainty surrounding Vini's contract renewal could give him a new opportunity.

For now, other options are ruled out. Neither City, nor Arsenal, nor United are in a position to compete for him.

Everything depends on Liverpool and Luis Díaz's future. If there's no sale, there's no signing. If there's no signing, Rodrygo will remain at Real Madrid. It's that simple.
