Real Madrid have reportedly set an £86m (€100 million) minimum price tag for winger Rodrygo, according to AS.
The 24‑year‑old Brazilian has found himself on the fringes of Xabi Alonso’s plans, playing just 92 minutes at the Club World Cup and largely overlooked since returning from injury in April.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly keen on securing his signature as soon as Real Madrid make him available.
Liverpool join Arsenal in Rodrygo race
The Gunners have been chasing the Brazilian star all summer but Liverpool have joined their Premier League rivals now in the race to sign the La Liga star.
Since joining the club from Santos in 2019, Rodrygo has carved out a reputation as a versatile attacke, capable of playing on either flank or in a more central role.
Yet, under new coach Alonso, the 24-year-old has seen his minutes fluctuate. Over six matches at the Club World Cup in the United States, Rodrygo started only once.
That reduced involvement has fueled speculation that Real Madrid may be open to listening to offers for a player who remains highly prized but is no longer guaranteed regular starts.
Reds have spent heavily on new signings this summer
Having already committed a huge amount of money on new signings, Liverpool are currently assessing their options. Their interest could increase even further if Luis Diaz leaves the club amid interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
The Gunners might appear to be leading the race at the moment to sign the Real Madrid star but Liverpool’s entry could change things.
The next few weeks will be crucial in deciding the future of the Real Madrid star with both Arsenal and Liverpool set to be involved in the race.
Rodrygo’s Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham has called him ‘the most talented’ and gifted player in the club’s squad.
Arsenal out, Liverpool in: Agent in touch with Reds over transfer of 21-goal demon
Sell Nunez, Robertson, Tsimikas, Chiesa and part ex. Konate for Rodrygo. Play Salah at centre forward ,buy Guehi and Hato. Dont pay these over inflated prices for another striker.
Chelsea and Arsenal are aiming to snatch the EPL title from LFC, and will given their recruitment pace!! I give Chelsea the edge. LFC needs to reinforce, I have suggested Nunez sale to get Ekitike, Diaz exchange deal for Fermin at Barcelona, Konate for Rodrygo…all these are can do’s now!!
LFC had planned to sell 3-4 players to bring in about $100m, they must use this amount to buy Guehi to replace Konate, Diomande to double up as long term Endo replacement and Hato to be groomed as future CB. Then they must buy Fofana. With these players they can defend their EPL title for sure!!
You do realise that Robertson, Tsimikas are both LB so leaving Kerkez as the sole LB is ridiculous even if we get Hato. I would sell Diaz and use that money with konate for Rodrygo. Then I would get in Hato, Lukeba and Malik fofana. I would give Nunez 1 more chance and play him every game as the central striker, because if the above happens we have complete ripped up the squad and after what has happened to our super No 20 we need a bit of stability
