Liverpool are reportedly not considering a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, despite ongoing speculation linking the Brazilian with a switch to Anfield. The Reds have already been active in the transfer market this summer, securing the early release of Trent Alexander-Arnold from his contract.
Rodrygo’s Situation Amidst Transfer rumours
Recent reports have suggested that Liverpool might be interested in Rodrygo, who has been a key player for Real Madrid since his arrival from Santos in 2019. However, sources close to the club indicate that the 23-year-old forward is not currently on Liverpool’s transfer agenda. Rodrygo has previously rejected advances from both Liverpool and Real Madrid, suggesting a reluctance to move at this stage.
While a “convincing offer” could perhaps change the landscape, as it stands, Rodrygo is not a target for the Merseyside club. This news comes as Liverpool have already completed a significant piece of business this summer.

Though, the England international ultimately missed their semi-final clash against PSG due to injury.

Adding to the transfer narrative, Real Madrid are also understood to be monitoring the situation of Liverpool’s center-back, Ibrahima Konaté. The French defender has entered the final 12 months of his current contract with the reds, which could make him a potential target for the La Liga champions.
