Rodrygo is being considered by Liverpool as a possible Mohamed Salah substitute, but signing the Brazilian will be challenging. Defensa Central reports that Rodrygo may become Liverpool’s top target to take Mohamed Salah’s spot in the summer. The Brazilian’s status is being closely monitored by the Reds, although signing the attacker would be difficult given his and Real Madrid’s stances.

After Kylian Mbappe’s arrival, Rodrygo Goes was frequently linked to major Premier League teams, making headlines during the summer. After the arrival of the Frenchman, there was some speculation that the Brazilian might lose his position in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, but that hasn’t happened. While Mbappe has assumed a more central role, Rodrygo has remained on the right side of the attack.

Rodrygo already announced at Liverpool to replace Salah

With 50 Champions League games under his belt, the Brazilian has amassed an absurd 20 goals and 13 assists, solidifying his status as one of the world’s top wingers under Carlo Ancelotti. Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabeu has been the subject of much speculation despite his significance. Due to star player Salah’s 2025 contract expiration, Liverpool has been heavily linked to Rodrygo over the past year.

After purchasing Kylian Mbappe, Madrid was apparently willing to sell the 23-year-old, according to numerous reports during the summer transfer window. With Salah out of the picture, Rodrygo is the ideal candidate to fill the vacancy, according to Arne Slot, who also says Liverpool is keeping an eye on him.
