Liverpool Monitoring Rodrygo Situation as Premier League Move Gains Momentum

Premier League Preferred by Rodrygo

Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Rodrygo Goes, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the Real Madrid forward is not interested in a move to Saudi Arabia.

“Rodrygo won’t join Al Nassr, never a topic or even a negotiation despite reports,” Romano stated. “Full focus on Europe.”

This aligns with growing suggestions that the 23-year-old is open to a move to the Premier League, should Real Madrid choose to sanction his departure. While the Spanish giants have added significant firepower to their forward line, including Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo remains focused on competing for his place. That could, however, change before the window closes.

Liverpool have been linked previously and are seen as one of the potential destinations if Rodrygo decides to leave. The club have yet to submit any formal proposal, but the absence of Saudi interest and the player’s desire to remain in Europe gives them a possible advantage in what could become a competitive situation.

Whether that interest becomes concrete will depend on Madrid’s intentions, but Liverpool are well-positioned should the door open.

This is exactly the kind of transfer link that sparks excitement across the fanbase. Rodrygo is not just a talent, he’s a Champions League-tested forward with real pedigree. If Liverpool can pull this off, it would represent one of the most exciting attacking additions of the Arne Slot era.

What makes this especially interesting is that Rodrygo reportedly wants a Premier League move and has ruled out Saudi Arabia entirely. That immediately places Liverpool in a stronger position compared to other recent sagas, where Saudi clubs have disrupted the market.

The stylistic fit also makes sense. Rodrygo’s versatility across the front three would suit Slot’s system, and his high work rate, creativity and experience at elite level align perfectly with the demands of Anfield. He could be a long-term successor in the front line and provide real competition in a squad built to challenge across all fronts.

Of course, a lot still hinges on Madrid’s willingness to sell, but this feels like a genuine opportunity. If the club can act decisively and structure a deal well, Rodrygo in red could become more than just a rumour.
