Liverpool ‘offer £100m’ to Real Madrid with Haaland to ‘fill void’ in Ancelotti’s attack if Slot lands up front

Liverpool have reportedly made a £100million bid to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid, with the European champions looking to reinvest the cash in Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

Liverpool have been linked to several attacking players with Rodrygo believed to be a top target.

The Brazilian could leave Real Madrid this summer following his signing Kylian Mbappewhile Palmeiras and Brazilian Endrick will officially join next month as well.

Competition for places will be fierce and Rodrygo will likely be the player whose minutes are massively reduced. Not Joselu, though. Joselu’s minutes can only increase.

Madrid will surely be willing to sell the 23-year-old for the right price, and the right price is apparently €150m (£126m).

According to reports in Spain, Liverpool have made a bid worth £100m for Rodrygo, but Real Madrid have ‘rejected’ the offer and want £26m more.

Madrid are reportedly ‘on alert’ after Rodrygo made ‘inappropriate statements’ ahead of their Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund and are ‘willing to transfer’ him if their assessment is met.

A transfer is all the more possible as the Brazilian winger is “willing to leave” if he is no longer a starter in Carlo Ancelotti’s attack, even if a move away from Madrid is certainly not his preferred choice this summer.

Under contract for a further four years, Rodrygo is said to be attracted by the prospect of playing in the Premier League, which is a boost for Liverpool.

Manchester City are also believed to be monitoring his situation and the 23-year-old’s future could see Madrid make a bid for their star player Haaland.

The report claims that Rodrygo’s exit “would make way for Haaland”.

Madrid would look to reinvest the money in the Norwegian striker, who can fill the ‘void’ that Rodrygo may leave.

Los Blancos have targeted Haaland “for several seasons”, while the Man City superstar “continues to wink at the whites of Manchester”.

As with Kylian Mbappe, it feels like Haaland playing for Real Madrid is inevitable.
