LFC TRANSFER NEWS LIVE ‼️Ekitike is on the verge of joining Liverpool – and he’ll earn an eye-watering amount of money at the club

Liverpool’s pursuit of Rodrygo from Real Madrid is heating up, with the Reds reportedly holding talks with the player’s camp. Here’s the latest update

*Transfer Interest*: Liverpool views Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Luis Díaz, who is linked with a move to Bayern Munich. The Brazilian winger’s versatility and experience make him an attractive signing.

Contract and Valuation*: Rodrygo’s contract runs until 2022, and Real Madrid is said to value him at €100 million (£87 million). Liverpool has offered €80 million, but Madrid might be open to negotiations.

Possible Roadblock*: The deal hinges on Liverpool selling Luis Díaz, as the Reds are reluctant to sell their No. 7 player. If Díaz leaves, Rodrygo could be a top target to replace him.

Competition from Arsenal*: Arsenal is also interested in Rodrygo, having held talks with his camp earlier this summer. However, Rodrygo’s preference seems to be playing in England, which could give Liverpool an edge.

Current Status*: Talks between Liverpool and Rodrygo’s camp are ongoing, with the player reportedly exploring his options. A decision on his future is expected soon, which could determine the direction of the transfer talks.
