Shock Premier League club enter race to sign Rodrygo but one thing has to happen first

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has attracted interest from another Premier League side amid growing uncertainties over his future.

During Los Blancos’ participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, Rodrygo started the first match against Al Hilal before being dropped to the bench by manager Xabi Alonso.

After Madrid‘s Club World Cup campaign was ended by Champions League winners Paris Saint Germain, Rodrygo’s future became the talk of the town.

Last month, it was reported that Arsenal have ‘genuine interest’ in signing the Brazilian forward this summer.

Journalist Ben Jacobs wrote on social media: “Arsenal hold a genuine interest in Rodrygo and have held exploratory talks on the player side dating back to May. Understand Real Madrid want around €90m.”

Now, it has been claimed that another Premier League side have entered the race for the 24-year-old.

According to Spanish news outlet Diario AS, Premier League champions Liverpool are keeping tabs on Rodrygo.

However, it has been suggested that the Reds’ interest in Rodrygo will hinge on whether Luis Diaz is sold or not.

Taking to social media, Diario AS wrote: “With Luis Díaz’s possible departure, Liverpool has expressed interest in the Brazilian. Madrid has not received any offers.”

Diaz, 28, has been linked with the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona in recent weeks.

However, it was claimed that Liverpool are not looking to sell but could be tempted to do business if their asking price of around €75 million is met.

So far this summer, Liverpool have already signed Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez.

Meanwhile, the likes of Rodrygo, Marc Guehi, Viktor Gyokeres, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak continue to be linked with a move to Anfield.

For Arsenal, they are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Chelsea winger Noni Madueke, with the likes of Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko and Rodrygo all reportedly on Mikel Arteta’s wanted list
