Liverpool are stepping up their efforts to land this Real Madrid star

In a recent report, Foot Mercato revealed that Liverpool are stepping up their efforts to land Real Madrid winger Rodrygo. It has been mentioned that the Reds are showing interest in bringing the Brazilian attacker to Anfield this summer.

Rodrygo’s Impressive Form In Spanish Football

Rodrygo had a productive season at the Madrid club recently after he put in a string of impressive performances for them in the final third. The Brazilian sensation scored 14 times and picked up 11 assists in 54 matches for Los Blancos in the previous campaign across all competitions.

The 24-year-old managed to shine at times with contributions in the opponent’s half as he averaged 2.52 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga. He kept 37% of his attempts on target. Rodrygo was even careful when distributing possession in the final third, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 85.9% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via fbref.com).

Rodrygo’s current contract at Real Madrid will run out in the summer of 2028. Thus, it won’t be easy for Liverpool to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Rodrygo Be A Dream Choice For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot?

Rodrygo can find a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He is a good finisher in the final third and has got the vision to engineer a few inviting chances for his teammates to score.

The Brazilian wide player is a decent dribbler with the ball as well and can contribute by scoring a lot of important goals for his side. He is primarily a right-winger but can also operate as a left-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if asked to do so.

Rodrygo would no doubt enhance the quality of Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s frontline. He is good enough to help the Reds challenge for some major honours over the next few years.

At 24, Rodrygo has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a dream choice for the Merseyside club to consider in this transfer window. However, there are some question marks over whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if Liverpool manage to bring him to Anfield this summer.
