Liverpool Ready to Open Transfer Talks With €100M-Rated Real Madrid Ace Linked to PSG, Man City | OneFootball

Real Madrid appear ready to start a new chapter with Xabi Alonso expected to take over as manager, replacing Carlo Ancelotti. The managerial change could spark roster shakeups as the club builds a squad to fit Alonso’s vision.

Several key players from the club’s recent Champions League-winning runs could be moved if the right offers come in, especially as Real Madrid aim to reinforce their defense and midfield. One name gaining traction in the rumor mill is Rodrygo.

Fichajes recently reported that Real Madrid are open to selling Rodrygo this summer, but only if their €100 million valuation is met.

Amid a transitional offseason, Real Madrid reportedly view Rodrygo’s potential exit as a way to fund key reinforcements. Top European clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, and PSG, have already shown interest in the Real Madrid star.

On Sunday, Anfield Index reported that the Brazilian forward’s agent and family are expected to start talks with the Reds soon. With the Real Madrid standout linked to PSG and Manchester City, Liverpool want to get ahead of the competition.

The 24-year-old has struggled to find consistency during a frustrating 2024-25 campaign. Despite making 30 La Liga appearances, he’s only featured in 63 percent of the available minutes.

Moreover, the report states Liverpool admire the Brazilian forward’s versatility, which they value as highly as his natural talent.

The long-term futures of Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, and even Luis Díaz still up in the air. As a result, Liverpool are keen to strengthen their front line this summer. That could include more than one attacking addition as they look to refresh the squad.
