Liverpool would plan to recruit the Real Madrid Rodrygo striker, while the club is preparing for a possible departure from Luis Diaz this summer.

While speculation is going well on the future of the Colombian in Anfield, the Reds could compete with Arsenal to obtain the signing of the Brazilian star, which could be about to leave the Bernabeu Santiago.

Although Liverpool does not actively seek to sell Diaz, the club is realistic about the dynamics of the market and has prepared an emergency plan. European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich expressed their interest in the player. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Merseysiders are ready to explore the possibility of signing Rodrygo if Diaz left the club this summer.

Luis Diaz replaced by Rodrygo?

Although Rodrygo has publicly expressed any desire to leave Real Madrid, his concerns grow as to his less and less important role under the leadership of the new coach Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian striker scored 14 goals and delivered 11 assists in 54 appearances in all competitions last season, but he found himself more and more often on the bench. His participation reduced in the Club World Cup has only eaten speculation, initiates suggesting that the winger could now reconsider his future.

Liverpool enters dance

The Merengues should not let Rodrygo leave at low prices. According to some information, the Spanish club has set the price of the Brazilian international player to 90 million euros. Such an amount would limit the number of clubs interested in those who have the financial means to finance such a significant transfer. Liverpool and Arsenal are two of the rare Premier League clubs to have the resources necessary to meet this assessment. The Saudi club Al-Nassr, which plays in Pro League, could also line up on this amount, but the player would be more inclined to play in the Premier League than in the Middle East.
