Liverpool could look to complete a stunning move for a world-renowned attacking player this summer, according to a fresh claim from journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Liverpool are yet to strengthen their forward line this summer, despite Florian Wirtz offering some versatility in attack. While he can do a job out wide, his best position remains the No.10 role, and it’s unlikely the Reds will go through the entire window without adding a new face up front.
The uncertainty around both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez only adds to the urgency. And with the tragic passing of Diogo Jota, depth in attack is now a real concern.
According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool could make a move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo if Diaz ends up leaving the club. Posting on X, Tavolieri claimed that while Liverpool are still keen to keep Diaz, his situation could influence their market activity. Rodrygo, who reportedly made the Premier League his top priority despite serious interest from Al Nassr, is someone Liverpool could pursue—potentially going head-to-head with Arsenal for the Brazilian’s signature.
The idea of Rodrygo in a Liverpool shirt is exciting. He’s widely considered one of the most gifted attackers in Europe. Even Jude Bellingham once said Rodrygo is probably the most naturally talented player in the entire Madrid squad, praising his flair and technical ability.
At 24, Rodrygo would not only be an upgrade on Diaz in terms of pure ability but is also four years younger. That adds value, especially when building for the future.
However, signing him won’t be easy. Liverpool have already spent £116 million on Wirtz this summer, and Real Madrid aren’t known for letting go of top talents without a big fight. But if the Reds could somehow pull it off, it would be a huge statement.
With Diaz’s future still up in the air, this is definitely one to keep an eye on.
