Recently, the news of Real Madrid’s winger Rodrigo potentially transferring has sparked intense interest, with Premier League clubs Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, all expressing their interest in the star player. However, according to the latest reports, Real Madrid has set Rodrigo’s price tag at a staggering 100 million euros, a figure that has deterred many potential buyers, causing them to step back from the bidding war.
If Real Madrid holds firm on this price, Rodrigo is highly likely to continue his tenure with the club. While Arsenal and Liverpool are both eager to strengthen their attacking line, Rodrigo isn’t their top priority. Currently, Arsenal’s more urgent task is to finalize the deal for Jurrien Timber; both parties have reached an agreement and are in the final negotiations with Sporting Lisbon. They believe that their current player, Gabriel Martinelli, has the potential to match Rodrigo’s prowess.
On the other hand, Liverpool’s focus is on signing Newcastle’s forward Isak. If this deal goes through, they will invest nearly 300 million euros on both Isak and Wirtz, making it impossible for them to pursue Rodrigo any further. Additionally, even if Diaz and Nunez choose to stay, Liverpool has plenty of options available for the wing position.
Interestingly, Liverpool is ready with a Plan B, aiming to break the taboo with their fierce rivals Manchester United, and is considering signing Rashford. This would mark the first time in 64 years that Liverpool brings in a player from United. Given the current circumstances, Rashford’s future at Manchester United is quite uncertain. Last season, he was loaned to Villa, and now the Red Devils have transferred the iconic number 10 jersey to new signing Cunha without addressing his situation, indicating that the likelihood of Rashford leaving Manchester United is increasing.
Rodrigo’s future remains highly anticipated, as the dynamics of the transfer market continue to evolve. His next move is still a point of curiosity, with bustling trade activity ongoing.
