Liverpool FC may have already knocked on the door of the Spanish capital in their search for a successor to Mohamed Salah. According to the magazine "Fichajes", the Premier League top club wants to lure Rodrygo from Real Madrid to the island.

Salah's contract with the Reds expires in the summer of 2025 and, according to English reports, the Egyptian has no plans to extend his contract by a further year. Consequently, coach Arne Slot needs a new striker to follow in the footsteps of the top scorer.

Rodrygo is often overshadowed by his fellow strikers.

The perfect candidate: Rodrygo. The Brazilian is undoubtedly one of the strongest attacking players in the world, but has plenty of competition in his position with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and youngster Endrick.

In the shadow of Mbappe and co.
The fact that the 23-year-old's name is often not mentioned in reports about Real's dream forward line is likely to scratch Rodrygo's ego, as the right winger would probably enjoy more attention at Anfield Road.

Liverpool are willing to transfer 100 million euros to Madrid for Rodrygo, according to reports. Until the summer transfer window opens on July 1 next year, the 29-time Brazil international still has plenty of time to think about leaving Madrid.
