Premier League
Liverpool has emerged strongly in the race for the signing of Rodrygo Goes, the attacker from Real Madrid who is not part of Xabi Alonso's plans.
The Brazilian, sidelined by Xabi Alonso in the league debut against Osasuna, is already negotiating with his agents an exit to the Premier League, his preferred destination with Manchester City also interested.
Rodrygo and his situation at Real Madrid
The 24-year-old forward did not play a single minute in the debut against Osasuna, increasing his discomfort within the white team. With Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Jr., and Brahim Díaz as starters, Rodrygo ended up as the sixth offensive option.
According to close sources, the Brazilian is reportedly pressuring Florentino Pérez to facilitate his exit. "I can't wait a year on the bench," he is said to have confessed. His biggest fear is losing prominence in the Brazilian national team for the 2026 World Cup.

Arne Slot's plan at Liverpool
Arne Slot's project includes an ambitious offensive approach. The idea is to combine Florian Wirtz as an attacking midfielder, Mohamed Salah on the right, Rodrygo Goes on the left, and Hugo Ekitike as the reference point.
The Dutch coach has given his approval, and the English club sees Rodrygo as a reliable replacement for Luis Díaz, who left Anfield to join Bayern Munich.
Manchester City is also in the mix. The reigning English champions are close to receiving 80 million euros for the sale of Savinho to Tottenham, a deal that would free up space and budget to go after Rodrygo.
Pep Guardiola has closely monitored the Brazilian, especially during his standout performances in the Champions League. He sees him as a player who can adapt to his system, capable of performing well both on the wing and centrally.
Last season, Rodrygo scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 54 matches, valuable numbers but insufficient to secure a regular starting position in Real Madrid.

The white club, which initially demanded 100 million, is now willing to negotiate a figure between 70 and 80 million. Florentino Pérez maintains that a player with a contract until 2028 will not be given away, although the scenario has changed with the arrival of Endrick and the growth of young players like Mastantuono.
A Future Pointing to the Premier League
It seems that Rodrygo Goes's time at the Santiago Bernabéu is nearing its end. The Premier League emerges as the natural destination to rejuvenate his career.
If Liverpool or Manchester City manage to close the deal, the Brazilian will join the list of stars leaving LaLiga to bolster the English league, a move that could shift power dynamics in Europe.
