The Reds have made the Brazilian international a top summer priority and are set to begin talks with Rodrygo's representatives, signaling their intent to add another marquee signing to Arne Slot's new-look side.

As Real Madrid set their price at around €100 million, Liverpool’s aggressive approach underlines their determination to reinforce the squad after a triumphant title-winning campaign. Club officials reportedly believe Rodrygo’s pace, finishing, and ability to play across the front line are ideal attributes for the revamped attack.

Sources close to the deal suggest Liverpool have been long-time admirers of Rodrygo, having tracked him since his teenage years, and are now in a position to finally secure his signature.

Arsenal Rivalry Raises Stakes

Arsenal remain in the hunt for Rodrygo’s services, setting the stage for a classic Premier League transfer battle. However, Liverpool appear willing to “blow Arsenal out of the water” in terms of both the transfer fee and personal terms, banking on their financial power and Champions League status to woo the Madrid star.

With Arsenal also looking to boost their frontline for a title push, the Gunners are expected to make their own approach but may struggle to match the Reds' proposed package.

Liverpool's transfer priorities this summer have also been influenced by the uncertainty surrounding Luis Diaz, who continues to attract bids from Barcelona and others. Should Diaz depart, Rodrygo is viewed as a direct replacement—a left-sided attacker with Champions League pedigree and experience in high-pressure matches at Real Madrid.

Madrid Open to Talks Amid Summer Shake-Up

For Real Madrid, this window marks a time of transition after landing Kylian Mbappé. The presence of the French superstar further crowds the Madrid attack, giving Liverpool leverage as they negotiate a potential exit for Rodrygo. Although Madrid are not actively pushing Rodrygo out, they are prepared to cash in at their asking price to fund additional moves or reshape the squad elsewhere.

Liverpool have already made ambitious moves in the market with big-money arrivals and are showing no signs of slowing down. If the club can reach an agreement with Rodrygo and Real Madrid, it would signal not just ambition but a clear message that the Anfield side intends to remain atop English football.

As talks approach and the transfer race with Arsenal intensifies, the Brazilian winger’s future—and the Premier League pecking order—could soon take a dramatic turn.
