Liverpool has tabled an improved bid to secure the talents of Real Madrid’s 23-year-old prodigy, Rodrygo Goes.

Amidst uncertainties surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future, Liverpool is preparing for a crucial transfer window and has set its sights on the talented winger from Real Madrid, as reported by Fichajes.

With Salah potentially departing, the Reds are actively pursuing a top-tier replacement, with Rodrygo emerging as their prime target.

Salah has been a linchpin in Liverpool’s attacking lineup for several seasons, contributing significantly to the team’s success under Jurgen Klopp.

However, amid interest from the Middle East, Salah’s departure could be imminent, with his contract expiring in the summer of 2025 and Al Ittihad showing strong interest in acquiring his services for the Saudi Pro League.

Should Salah decide to depart, Liverpool will need to secure a high-caliber forward to fill the void left by his absence. The club has been scouring the market for an ideal replacement, identifying Rodrygo as a potential candidate.

Since joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2019, the Brazilian international has demonstrated remarkable growth and has become an indispensable member of the squad, contributing to their success in winning various titles, including the Champions League.

While predominantly deployed on the right flank, Rodrygo possesses the versatility to operate on the left wing as well as in a central attacking role. In the current season, he has featured in 41 matches, tallying 21 goal involvements through goals and assists.

Liverpool views Rodrygo as a viable option to mitigate Salah’s potential departure, considering his youth and potential for further development. Consequently, the club is prepared to make a substantial investment in securing his services.

Liverpool has been proactive in their pursuit of Rodrygo, persisting in their efforts to lure him away from Real Madrid. Despite their initial bid being rebuffed, Liverpool remains undeterred and has tabled an enhanced offer of €80 million for the 23-year-old.

However, Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, is adamant that Rodrygo will not be allowed to leave for anything less than €100 million. Therefore, negotiations between Liverpool and Real Madrid are expected to be challenging, with the Spanish giants reluctant to part ways with their prized asset.

Even if Liverpool manages to reach an agreement with Real Madrid, convincing Rodrygo to depart from the Spanish capital could pose a significant obstacle. His attachment to the club and the allure of playing for one of Europe’s top teams may complicate Liverpool’s pursuit of the talented winger.
