As per Spanish source Nacional, Liverpool are keen on signing Real Madrid winger Rodrygo in the summer. The Premier League are reportedly even ready to include Trent Alexander-Arnold in a swap deal to bring the Brazilian home ahead of next season.
Rodrygo needs no introduction
Rodrygo is one of the most exciting talents in the football world at present. He has been on a rising curve even since joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 from Santos. He has established himself as one of the best attackers and a big-match player.
Rodrygo has all the abilities on the ball as any Brazilian should have. He is known for his dribbling, creativity, scoring and work-rate. Though he prefers playing on the left wing, he can effectively operate in the other advanced positions.
As a result, the Brazilian has been an integral part of Madrid’s setup. He featured in 51 games, netting 17 goals and providing nine assists. He averaged 2.7 shots, 1.4 key passes, and 1.7 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
A win-win deal for both Liverpool and Real Madrid
Liverpool will be doing everything in their power to build a strong unit for next season. Their alleged move for Rodrygo would be a good decision as the player will add a lot of value. However, the club understand that signing him won’t be an easy task.
Real Madrid aren’t looking to offload Rodrygo unless a lucrative offer arrives. Hence, the Reds want to include Trent Alexander-Arnold in a swap deal to reduce the cost of the deal. Moreover, the Whites reportedly want to acquire the services of the English star.
Therefore, it would be a win-win situation for both major European clubs. From the player’s point of view, the 23-year-old doesn’t want to leave the Spanish giant. However, as Kylian Mbappe is officially joining the club soon, his role might be diminished in the upcoming season. As a result, a move to Anfield shouldn’t be a bad one.
