Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes could be on the verge of a sensational Premier League switch, as Liverpool step up negotiations to secure what could become the most expensive transfer in the club’s history. According to Football Insider, citing Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid have set a £100 million price tag on the 24-year-old – a fee that has caught the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Liverpool, now under the leadership of Premier League-winning manager Arne Slot, are reported to be leading the race to sign Rodrygo. The Reds are prepared to break their transfer record to bring the Real Madrid star to Anfield this summer, overtaking the £85 million they spent on Darwin Núñez.
Rodrygo, who has played a pivotal role in Real Madrid’s recent domestic and European success, is believed to be unhappy with his current situation at the Bernabéu — particularly following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, which has intensified competition for a place in Carlo Ancelotti’s front line.
Despite Ancelotti’s public support for the Brazilian, internal discussions at Madrid suggest that the club is preparing for a reshuffle, and Rodrygo’s future is now under serious scrutiny.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared new insights into the negotiations: “Liverpool are in advanced talks for Rodrygo. The fee discussed is around £100 million, and this would make him the most expensive signing in Liverpool history. The player wants clarity on his role before making the final call — but the interest is concrete.”
A key meeting is expected to take place soon between Rodrygo and future Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, who will play a crucial role in shaping the club’s squad moving forward. That conversation is believed to be pivotal in determining whether the Brazilian star pushes for a move.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City have also been monitoring the situation, but none are believed to be as committed or financially prepared as Liverpool at this stage.
If the deal materializes, it will mark a major shift for both clubs: Real Madrid would unlock significant funds to reinvest in the squad, while Liverpool would add a world-class attacker to bolster their firepower ahead of next season’s Champions League and Premier League campaigns.
Rodrygo’s next move could redefine the summer transfer window — and Liverpool fans are watching with bated breath.
