Real Madrid are not planning any more groundbreaking arrivals this summer for they have already signed enough stars to elevate the squad from last season. A big sale, however, has not been ruled out.
While Los Blancos are under no compulsion to sell, moving away players who are not in the manager’s plans would help the books and Rodrygo Goes is seen as one who can make a move in that sense.
The Brazilian youngster, while im[important for the club in recent years, saw his prominence fall last season. Now, his future is being called into question after it has become clear that the new manager prefers a system with only two forwards.
Rodrygo has always been one to prioritise the Real Madrid crest over anything else but his forced position leaves him open to considering external offers. The Premier League, in that sense, is one that tempts him and he may well move to England.
As relayed by Rodra in a recent report, the club that Rodrygo is most attracted to right now is Liverpool. However, a move right now looks unlikely.

The player sees the project at the Merseyside club to be one where he can shine and continue to compete at the highest level on all fronts, for the club have done well not only domestically but also in Europe in recent seasons.
The hurdle, however, is Arne Slot’s team’s sudden interest in splashing the cash on Alexander Isak this summer which will be very fund-intensive.
Liverpool have already signed a striker this summer and could well drop the interest in Isak soon, something that will reopen the door to Rodrygo’s arrival. At this point, however, the move looks unlikely.
The Brazilian phenom has also received interest from Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and other top Premier League clubs. While the former refuse to meet his wage demands, the player does not fancy the latter option from a competitive standpoint.
Given the situation, it is not entirely ruled out that Rodrygo ends up staying put at Real Madrid this summer despite all the speculations.
