The recent reports have connected Liverpool with a potential transfer for Real Madrid star Rodrygo. Interestingly, there are also rumors suggesting Darwin NĂșñez might leave Anfield.
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has dismissed these speculations, stating, âItâs hard for me to comment on the Rodrygo and NĂșñez rumors.
I donât know where these links originate. NĂșñez is entirely focused on Liverpool, and AtlĂ©tico Madrid recently invested âŹ75 million in JuliĂĄn Alvarez. Rodrygo renewed his contract with Real Madrid less than a year ago and is committed to the club.â
Rodrygo has had a relatively quiet start to the season, contributing five goals in ten games, while NĂșñez has played even less, with just 246 minutes on the pitch.
Notwithstanding this, reports from Graeme Bailey at TBR Football suggest Liverpoolâs interest in Rodrygo remains strong, even after a summer inquiry was rejected. Nevertheless, Rodrygo seems dedicated to his future in Spain.
As for replacing Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires in 2025, Liverpool may look to Rodrygo as a long-term option. While heâs not yet matching Salahâs impressive stats, he ranks highly in xG and xAG metrics.
However, it seems unlikely that Rodrygo will leave Real Madrid for Liverpool anytime soon.The rumors connecting Liverpool with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and suggesting Darwin NĂșñez might leave Anfield appear to lack credibility. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, there’s no strong foundation behind these speculations. NĂșñez remains focused on his role at Liverpool, and Rodrygo, who renewed his contract with Real Madrid last year, is committed to the club.
While Liverpool reportedly made an inquiry for Rodrygo in the past, it was rejected, and Rodrygo seems set on staying in Spain. However, with Mohamed Salah’s contract expiring in 2025, Liverpool might still consider him as a future option, especially given his strong xG and xAG performance. But any potential transfer seems unlikely in the near future.
