Liverpool mean business this summer. They are doing everything they can off the pitch to prepare well for their Premier League title defence and surge for the Champions League crown.
With Arne Slot leading the project, they want fresh legs and new energy up front. And they may be closing in on their biggest move yet.
Recently, they are struggling to renew the contract of Luis Diaz. The Colombian has been a key performer for the Reds.
Also, the situation with Darwin Nunez is not favourable. Even after signing Florian Wirtz for a whopping £100 million, Arne Slot wants another attacker.
The truth is, Arne Slot wants to part ways with Darwin Nunez. Napoli was keen to sign the Uruguayan.
However, Liverpool set a steep asking price for which Napoli walked away from that deal.
Also, Arne Slot doesn’t want to part ways with Luis Diaz. However, the Colombian has agreed on personal terms with Bayern Munich.
Liverpool have rejected Bayern’s bid for Diaz. But if he leaves as well, Liverpool need to find a replacement.
That is why Arne Slot is wasting no time in finding a solution for his team.
He wants to send a message to the rest of Europe that his Liverpool team will dominate European football for the coming years.
For that, he needs to make another statement signing along with Florian Wirtz.
According to AS, Liverpool are now strongly considering making a move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
Along with Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich are also exploring the move.
However, according to the latest reports, it looks like Anfield will be the destination for the Brazilian as he looks for a way out of Santiago Bernabeu.
Rodrygo was barely featured in the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup. It is a sign that the Brazilian is not in the plans of the new manager, Xabi Alonso.
So, the Rodrygo to Liverpool deal is now a concrete possibility only if the Reds make a move.
