BREAKING NEWS: Coming Live From Fabrizio Romano,Liverpool Pushing Beyond Limit To Bring Rodrygo To Anfield. Liverpool Are Plotting A Shock Swap Deal To Sign Brazilian International, Rodrygo, From Real Madrid. According To Reports, Liverpool Are Proposing A Shock Swap Deal That Would See Trent Alexander-Arnold Move To The Bernabeu And Rodrygo To Merseyside. Liverpool Propose Shock Swap Deal To Sign £85million Star.
Liverpool are reportedly planning an unexpected swap deal to acquire Brazilian international Rodrygo from Real Madrid.
According to the Spanish outlet Nacional, Liverpool is looking to take advantage of the uncertain situation surrounding Rodrygo. Real Madrid’s recent confirmation of Kylian Mbappe’s signing, along with the arrival of young talent Endrick, could potentially reduce Rodrygo’s playing time. Given this scenario, Liverpool is eager to secure the South American player’s services, although his high market value poses a significant hurdle.
The Catalan media source reports that Real Madrid values Rodrygo at over €100 million (£85 million). To address this substantial cost, Liverpool is proposing a swap deal that involves sending Trent Alexander-Arnold to the Bernabeu in exchange for Rodrygo coming to Anfield. Alexander-Arnold, who was appointed vice-captain of Liverpool last year, has not yet signed a new contract. As a result, Liverpool aims to sell him now to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer next year and to use the funds to acquire Rodrygo.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is interested in Alexander-Arnold as a potential replacement for their veteran right-back Dani Carvajal. Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Arne Slot needs a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and Rodrygo would be a prime candidate for this role. However, Slot also faces the challenge of retaining key players, and Alexander-Arnold is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the squad.
