The 24-year-old is reportedly interested in leaving the Bernabéu next summer, which suggests a strong chance of him joining England.
Several Premier League clubs have expressed interest in Rodrygo over the past twelve months, with Chelsea being the most recent. However, Keith Wyness, former CEO of Aston Villa and Everton, now a consultant to major clubs, told Football Insider (via CaughtOffside) that Tottenham Hotspur were the favorites to sign the Brazil international, while hinting that Liverpool were also an option.
Rodrygo with the Reds?
“I think Rodrygo will go to Tottenham, but I heard a swap for Wirtz was possible, coming from Liverpool. Given Wirtz’s start to the season, it’s not impossible. I think he would adapt better to the style of play at Real Madrid and La Liga.
“I think this option could come to fruition. I didn’t rule it out straight away. But I think it’s Spurs who will end up paying to bring him from Real Madrid. I expect Spurs to push, but the idea of ​​a Liverpool-Wirtz swap seemed plausible to me. »
Do Real Madrid need Wirtz?
Wirtz had a difficult start at Liverpool, and Real Madrid had shown interest in his services before his arrival at Anfield. However, a move to the Bernabéu would be ill-advised now, given that his former coach, Xabi Alonso, already has Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Franco Mastantuono and Brahim Diaz in attacking midfield, not to mention the expected return of Nico Paz to the Whites next summer.
