Liverpool are actively pursuing attacking options in the transfer market as uncertainty surrounds Mohamed Salah’s future. Antonio Semenyo is also expected to sign with Manchester City.
Liverpool have re-emerged as a serious contender in the race for Rodrygo. Latest reports claim a substantial offer is being prepared. As speculation over Mohamed Salah’s future intensifies, the Real Madrid winger is reportedly viewed as a potential successor at Anfield.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool are ready to table an offer close to €90 million for the 24-year-old Brazilian.
The belief at Anfield is that this significant sum could tempt Real Madrid into discussions, especially as the player has struggled for prominence under manager Xabi Alonso this season.
Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid
Rodrygo’s situation in the Spanish capital appears increasingly uncertain. Despite being a proven performer on big stages, his role has diminished.

The recent injury to Kylian Mbappe complicates any winter exit, but the player’s desire for a fresh challenge is noted. “Rodrygo wants to leave Real Madrid this winter,” according to Diario Sport, with the player having reportedly begun talks with agents to accelerate a move.
Why Rodrygo is an appealing transfer to Liverpool?
For Liverpool, the appeal is clear for Rodrygo. The Brazilian is a direct, versatile forward comfortable across the frontline. As per Squawka, he averages more completed dribbles per 90 minutes than Salah, indicating a ball-carrying threat for the Reds’ attack.
With Salah’s long-term future uncertain following his recent episode with Arne Slot and the club, securing Rodrygo will be a massive statement.[smartframe_images_embed customer-id=”c78749ece7fd074ea5dc1889e7c53f0f” image-id=”esme7Xda1P46″ style=”width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 4217px; aspect-ratio: 4217/2811;”]
The competition, however, is fierce. Manchester City and Arsenal are also cited as leading candidates for his signature. Furthermore, Real Madrid’s final decision remains unknown.
The club must weigh a major financial injection against weakening their squad mid-season, particularly after Mbappe’s injury.
For now, the links to sign the Brazilian are strong. Liverpool’s reported interest signals a clear intent to boost their attacking options. More updates are expected to come out of the rumour.
