With Salah entering the final year of his contract, speculation surrounding his departure has intensified, and the Reds are actively exploring possible replacements for their prolific winger.
Among the names being considered, Rodrygo has emerged as a potential option for the Merseyside club.
According to TBR Football, the Brazilian forward is aware of Liverpool’s interest, but despite the allure of a move to the Premier League, he is not currently looking to leave Real Madrid.
Rodrigo committed to the Spanish giants as long as he continues to be part of the club’s plans under manager Carlo Ancelotti.
At the start of the season, there were some doubts about Rodrygo’s role at Real Madrid, especially in light of persistent rumors linking Kylian Mbappé with a move to the Bernabeu.
Additionally, the emergence of talented young players like Arda Güler posed potential competition for a starting spot.
However, Ancelotti has shown significant faith in the 22-year-old Brazilian, selecting him to start in five out of the first seven La Liga matches this season.
This trust from the manager has helped solidify Rodrygo’s place in the squad, easing concerns about his role within the team.
Liverpool’s admiration for Rodrygo is not new. Reports indicate that the Reds made inquiries about his availability during the summer transfer window.
In addition to Rodrygo, Liverpool were also interested in another Real Madrid player, midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. However, they were met with firm resistance from Real Madrid, who made it clear that neither Rodrygo nor Tchouameni was for sale.
While Rodrygo is reportedly flattered by Liverpool’s interest in him, his desire to remain at Real Madrid remains strong. As a versatile attacker capable of playing in multiple offensive positions, he is considered a valuable asset for the Spanish club. Unless Real Madrid signals that his services are no longer required, Rodrygo has no intention of leaving the Bernabeu.
If Liverpool are intent on strengthening their attack, they may have to turn their attention to alternative targets. For the time being, it seems unlikely that Real Madrid will change their stance on Rodrygo’s availability, and the forward himself appears focused on continuing his career in Madrid.
