By Fabrizio Romano – Here we go territory incoming?
In a stunning turn of events that could define the start of Arne Slot’s era at Anfield, Liverpool have made a bold and official move for Real Madrid’s Brazilian superstar, Rodrygo Goes. The Merseyside giants have submitted their first official bid to Real Madrid as they begin serious talks to land the forward, in what could be one of the biggest signings of the summer window.
Sources close to the situation have revealed that Rodrygo himself is open to the move, making his stance clear in a private conversation that has now emerged:
“I would prefer a move to Liverpool than Manchester United. I know I’m very much appreciated and wanted here at Real Madrid, and I love it, but I don’t want to be playing from the bench. I know my potential.
If Liverpool come for me, I’m open to joining them.”
Rodrygo’s comments reflect the intense competition at Real Madrid, especially following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick, which is expected to limit his starting opportunities. While the Brazilian remains a fan favorite at the Bernabéu, he is determined to play regular first-team football—something Liverpool are prepared to offer.
The 23-year-old has been on Liverpool’s radar for months, and with the post-Klopp era underway, Arne Slot and the Anfield board are looking to make a major statement signing to signal their ambitions for the coming seasons. Rodrygo’s versatility, flair, and big-game experience could make him a perfect fit in Liverpool’s dynamic attacking setup.
Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing, and while Real Madrid are not keen on losing Rodrygo, they could be tempted by a big-money offer.
This move, if completed, would not only shake up the Premier League—it would send a message across Europe.
This is what we’re talking about. Liverpool to the world!
Bring him to Anfield — let’s show the Premier League what we’re made of! 💪🙀🙀
