Liverpool remains interested in acquiring Real Madrid’s forward Rodrygo Goes. The 24-year-old has not consistently featured in the starting lineup for his team this season, leading to speculation about his future. Several clubs are watching the young talent closely, and Liverpool has reportedly initiated discussions regarding a possible transfer.
As reported by TEAMtalk, Real Madrid is open to letting him go for a fee in the range of €80-90 million. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will formalize their interest with an official bid.
Last season, Rodrygo recorded 14 goals and 9 assists. However, his playing time has dwindled this season. Nonetheless, he has been impressive in the Champions League. Arsenal has also shown interest in him.
