Report: Liverpool could compete with the Premier League club for 90 million euros before
Could Liverpool move for Rodrygo when the Diaz output could loom?
The role of Rodrygo under threat to Real Madrid
Liverpool’s summer transfer activity could soon be concentrated around Real Madrid winger Roddrygo, with new reports by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri via a goal suggesting that the Brazilian has become an emergency option if Luis Diaz leaves Anfield. Although there is no active push to sell Diaz, Liverpool would be pragmatic about the future of the Colombian, in the midst of a serious interest in Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Rodrygo, just only 24 years old, would not have died in the Bernabéu under the new boss Xabi Alonso, despite the production of 14 goals and 11 assists in 54 appearances last season. Tavolieri reports that Liverpool, alongside Arsenal, closely monitors the situation, potentially preparing to act if Diaz leaves.
“According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Merseysiders are ready to explore the possibility of signing Rodrygo if Diaz turns away from the club this summer.”
Premier League calling Rodrygo?
Although Rodrygo is not publicly agitated for a move, his reduced playing time – in particular in the FIFA club World Cup – aroused speculation that he could seek a more essential role elsewhere. Liverpool and Arsenal are among the rare clubs with the financial weight and the tactical crisis to justify a movement for the winger.

Real Madrid, however, should not entertain offers less than 90 million euros (78 million pounds sterling). This price has indeed excluded that all except the Premier League elite and the Saudi giants of the Saudi Pro League al-Nassr, although the reports suggest that Roddrygo promotes a move to England in the Middle East.
“Reports say that Spanish giants have slapped a price of 90 million euros (78 million pounds sterling / 106 million dollars) on the Brazilian international.”

For Liverpool supporters, the idea of replacing Luis Diaz with Rodrygo is controversial. Diaz has become a favorite of fans for its implacable energy and flair, and although there is no final movement in place, the fact that the club explores alternatives suggests that they are preparing for all eventualities. It is an intelligent affair, but disturbing for fans who want to see Diaz staying.

What calls on Rodrygo is his pedigree in the Champions League and his comfort playing through the front line – features that correspond to the evolutionary tactical plane of Liverpool. However, the costs reported of 90 million euros raise questions. Would it be better spent on several additions rather than one high level name? Supporters will be wary, in particular with other gaps to fill.
In the end, if Liverpool is serious about Rodrygo, this suggests a broader change in the transfer policy – targeting not only value but for ready -to -use stars. It remains to be seen if it aligns with the ethics of FSG, but as things are, fans should prepare for a daring summer to come.
