Rodrygo, 24, is being lined up for a sale by Real Madrid during this transfer window. The two-time Champions League winner is under contract until 2029 - but is set to be offloaded by new coach Xabi Alonso.
Tottenham appear to be now in the lead for the Brazil international - with Liverpool’s interest said to be cooling. With Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha as left-wing options - not to mention Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike - Liverpool are well stocked in the position.
While Rodrygo is a great player in his own right the deal just wouldn’t make sense on a financial level for the Reds.
For one, there’s the wages. The latest reports indicate that Rodrygo would command around €400k per week - parity with Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah.
And then there’s the €100m transfer fee - which Liverpool may have inadvertently help set. That’s according to a new report in Defensa Central, which claims Real Madrid are USING Wirtz’s fee to set the price for Rodrygo.
