Rodrygo Goes hasn't had the season he wanted at Real Madrid. Despite being a young and talented player, he has fallen into the background within the team. The emergence of Bellingham, the prominence of Vinícius, and the almost certain arrival of Mbappé have left him with fewer minutes and less influence in the starting eleven.
Although he has performed well whenever he has played, he hasn't felt sufficiently valued. He knows that in this new Madrid project, it will be difficult to have an important role. That's why he has started to look for options outside the club.
Madrid Prepares for Changes
After a season with ups and downs, Real Madrid is already thinking about renewing its squad. The management has pointed to several players and also to the coach himself, Carlo Ancelotti, who seems to have his days numbered. In this context, Rodrygo Goes has also entered that list of footballers who could leave.
Moreover, the Brazilian hasn't fared well in the criticism following the Copa del Rey final. His performance has been questioned, and from the player's camp, there is already talk of a possible move in the summer. According to journalist Guillermo Rai, Rodrygo Goes will ask for a contract improvement, not so much to stay, but to pressure the club and facilitate an exit.
Liverpool Enters the Scene
For weeks, there had been talk of interest from Manchester City or PSG. However, the big surprise is that the team pushing hardest for Rodrygo Goes is Liverpool. The English club is looking to strengthen its attack, especially on the left, in light of the possible departure of Luis Díaz.
Rodrygo Goes would fit perfectly into the 'Reds' scheme. He could occupy the left wing or even alternate with Salah on the right.
His fast and vertical style suits the Premier League well, and at Anfield, he would have the minutes and prominence he seeks. Additionally, it would be a breath of fresh air for both him and the English club, which is starting a new phase after Klopp's departure.
A Farewell Approaches
Rodrygo's future at Real Madrid seems increasingly uncertain. The player wants to feel important and have continuity, something he finds difficult in the current context of the white team. Meanwhile, the club is open to listening to offers if an interesting proposal comes in.
Both parties seem to agree that the best thing is to part ways. While many wanted to see him at Manchester City, everything indicates that his destination will be elsewhere.
Liverpool, Madrid's eternal European rival, is very well positioned to secure his services. If the negotiation progresses as expected, Rodrygo Goes could wear red next season.
