La Liga champions Real Madrid have reportedly knocked back a bid worth €120 million from Liverpool for attacking mainstay Rodrygo Goes.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Rodrygo Goes is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are ready to cough up €120 million to sign the Brazilian international from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. However, the Merengues have rejected the proposal by the Merseyside club.
The Rodrygo Goes story
Rodrygo Goes has established himself as one of the best young players in the world since joining Real Madrid from Santos in July 2019. The 23-year-old was already a highly-rated prospect when Los Blancos beat stiff competition to secure his services. However, he has made considerable progress to rise in stature.
The Brazilian international has overcome stiff competition for places at Real Madrid to become a mainstay in the final third. Rodrygo’s productivity increased in the 2023/24 season, as he amassed 17 goals and nine assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.
Rodrygo’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of every high-profile Premier League club. Recent reports have suggested that the versatile Real Madrid attacker has rebuffed Chelsea, with Manchester City also showing interest in him. The latest update has revealed Liverpool’s efforts to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool’s interest in the Real Madrid star
Liverpool’s interest in Rodrygo Goes is understandable. The Reds are in a spot of bother over Mohamed Salah’s long-term future amid his constant links with Saudi Pro League clubs. In addition, Luis Diaz has flirted with Barcelona in the last few weeks. So, it behoves Liverpool to invest in a top-class attacker in the summer transfer window.
The report by SPORT has revealed that the Merseyside club offered €120 million to sign the Brazilian international from Real Madrid. However, the reigning La Liga champions have knocked back the proposal by Liverpool as they do not want to part ways with him anytime soon.
So, Liverpool will unlikely secure Rodrygo’s services in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see who the Reds turn to, with Real Madrid keeping hold of the 23-year-old versatile forward for the long haul.
