Liverpool propose shock swap deal to sign £85million star
Liverpool are apparently arranging a surprise swap deal to sign Brazilian international Rodrygo from Real Madrid.
According to the Spanish source Nacional, Liverpool is hoping to capitalize on Rodrygo’s unsettled circumstances. Real Madrid’s recent announcement of Kylian Mbappe’s acquisition, as well as the entrance of youthful prospect Endrick, may restrict Rodrygo’s playing time. Given this circumstance, Liverpool is anxious to recruit the South American talent, despite his high market worth presents a considerable challenge.
According to Catalan media, Real Madrid valued Rodrygo at more than €100 million (£85 million). To offset this significant expense, Liverpool is proposing a swap deal in which Trent Alexander-Arnold goes to the Bernabeu in return for Rodrygo arriving to Anfield. Alexander-Arnold, who was named vice-captain of Liverpool last year, is yet to sign a new deal. As a result, Liverpool intends to sell him now to prevent losing him on a free transfer next year, and to use the proceeds to sign Rodrygo.
Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Perez, is interested in Alexander-Arnold as a possible successor for veteran right-back Dani Carvajal. Meanwhile, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is looking for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and Rodrygo would be an ideal contender. However, Slot confronts the issue of maintaining crucial players, and Alexander-Arnold is without a doubt one of the squad’s most significant members.
