In a recent report<\/a>, Fichajes mentioned that Liverpool<\/a> have identified Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo as a replacement for Luis Diaz, who joined Bayern Munich recently. It is believed that the Reds have set their sights on the Brazilian wide player this summer.<\/p>\n

Rodrygo\u2019s Decent Numbers In Spanish Football<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rodrygo enjoyed a decent campaign at the Madrid club as he put in a series of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 24-year-old found the back of the net 14 times and secured 11 assists in 54 appearances for Los Blancos last season across multiple competitions.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international caught the eye in the opponent\u2019s half by averaging 2.52 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga<\/a>. He kept 37% of his attempts on target. Rodrygo even distributed the ball well after making 85.9% of his attempted passes in the Spanish first division (stats via fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

His current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium will run out in the summer of 2028. Hence, Liverpool<\/a> would have to launch a big offer if they are serious about recruiting Rodrygo this off-season.<\/p>\n

Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Move In For Rodrygo This Summer?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rodrygo can use his pace and dribbling ability to cause a lot of headaches for his marker out in the wide areas. He can strike the ball with power from long range and has got the eye to create some inviting chances for others around him in the final third.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian talent is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also fill in as a left-winger or play as a centre-forward if asked to do so. However, he might need some time to adjust to life in the Premier League if the Reds manage to get a deal over the line for him this summer.<\/p>\n

Rodrygo would no doubt enhance the quality of Liverpool boss Arne Slot\u2019s frontline. He is good enough to compete for a regular starting place at the Merseyside club. At 24, the Brazilian wing wizard\u2019s peak years are ahead of him which makes him a worthy target for the Merseyside club to pursue in this summer transfer period.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Rodrygo would serve as an ideal replacement for Luis Diaz. Therefore, Slot should focus on moving in for the Real Madrid<\/a> talent before the start of the new campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
