After updating Arne Slot on Real Madrid’s future, Liverpool forward Rodrygo leaves the host hanging
Just days before Saturday’s Champions League final, Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo expressed his firm desire to replace Mohamed Salah for Liverpool.
The arrival of new Reds coach Arne Slot would be greatly enhanced if the 23-year-old frontman—who has already fueled rumors that he may be headed to Anfield this summer—were to be one of the window’s transfers.
Indeed, Rodrygo answered DAZN’s question on his future with Real Madrid with a resounding “Yes” before the Champions League final. Everything is possible, really. I am uncertain about the status of my contract here. Being here for the past few years has been a delight.
“We’ll see, I’ve always expressed an interest in being a part of this club.”Spanish media have reported that the 23-year-old attacker is still being pursued by top Premier League clubs, with Liverpool being the most prominent of these suitors, due to his lack of commitment to Real.
If Salah is indeed moved to Saudi Arabia, Slot will have a massive hole to fill in the Reds’ offensive game. But TT has said before that the Egyptian is delighted to remain for the beginning of the Slot era.
Many see Rodrygo, whose contract with the Bernabeu is still up for renewal in four years, as the perfect successor.
False rumors of Real star’s departure debunkedThe Brazil international, nevertheless, has now officially stated his intention to remain with Real.
“Today – on Tuesday – a very annoying situation occurred, where one of my interviews was completely taken out of context,” Rodrygo stated in a social media post.
I don’t even consider leaving the club that has meant so much to me; I am truly happy here at Real Madrid and live out my dreams every day. There is still history for us to write. Oh, and just Hala Madrid!The addition of Kylian Mbappe and the Brazilian sensation Endrick could, however, drastically cut into Rodrygo’s playing time next season.
Real Madrid will play Dortmund at Wembley on Saturday in an attempt to win their 15th Champions League title, and he is already getting ready to play.
