Liverpool look to hijack Arsenal’s move for Real Madrid star Rodrygo

Liverpool have reportedly entered the race to sign Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid, and they’re not just participating — they’re looking to hijack Arsenal’s plans.

According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey via TBR Football, the Reds have already opened talks with Rodrygo’s camp, with new sporting director Richard Hughes said to be “very keen” on bringing the Brazilian star to Anfield this summer.

Arsenal Move Fading as Liverpool Step In

Rodrygo’s future has been up in the air after limited minutes at Real Madrid last season. Arsenal were once tipped as favourites to land him, but after splashing the cash on Martin Zubimendi and Noni Madueke, and with Viktor Gyokeres also expected to arrive, the Gunners may have to cool their interest due to budget constraints. That has opened the door for Liverpool to pounce — and they’re wasting no time.

Rodrygo Could Replace Diaz as Reds Reshape Attack

With Hugo Ekitike nearing a move to Liverpool and the likes of Darwin Núñez and Luis Diaz potentially heading for the exit door, the Reds are preparing for a significant attacking shake-up. Bayern Munich have already had a £58m bid rejected for Diaz, and could return with a bigger offer.

Rodrygo, who can operate on both flanks and even centrally, is seen as an ideal replacement. Real Madrid are reportedly demanding around £78 million, and with his contract running until 2028, Los Blancos are in no rush to sell. But with the right offer — and Liverpool’s clear intent — a deal could yet be struck.

Will Liverpool Land Another Statement Signing?

Liverpool have already outmanoeuvred top clubs like Bayern Munich and Manchester City for other targets this window. With the Rodrygo situation heating up, it’s clear the Reds aren’t just rebuilding — they’re doing it with ambition and authority.

Keep an eye on this one. If Rodrygo is to leave the Bernabéu this summer, don’t be surprised if Anfield becomes his new home.
