Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes to replace Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Liverpool could launch a €120 million move to sign Brazilian attacker Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid if Mohamed Salah leaves the club in the summer.
Salah will be a free agent in the summer, and Liverpool have not managed to agree on a new deal with him yet. He has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
The veteran attacker has been exceptional for Liverpool since joining the club, and he has helped them win several major trophies. Replacing him will not be easy, and Liverpool will need to invest in a top-quality player to fill the void left by the Egyptian.
Liverpool have identified Rodrygo as a potential replacement. The Brazilian has been exceptional for Real Madrid since joining arriving from Santos, and he has helped them win major trophies. He has 21 goal contributions this season, and he has the ability to do well in the Premier League as well.
The 24-year-old is capable of operating as a centre forward as well as a wide player. His versatility will be an added bonus. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal done in the coming months. Signing him for €120 million would mean that he would be a club-record signing for the Reds.
Liverpool need quality attackers
Liverpool need to improve their attacking unit during the summer transfer window regardless of whether Salah stays or leaves the club. Darwin Nunez has been quite inconsistent, and he has not been able to find the back of the net regularly. Diogo Jota seems to have lost his goalscoring touch as well.
Both players need to be replaced in the summer and signing a reliable centre-forward should be a top priority for Liverpool heading into the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the Real Madrid attacker to join them.
The Brazilian international has been an important player for the Spanish club, and he has no reason to leave them. He has been fighting for major trophies with them regularly, and Liverpool might find it difficult to convince him.
