Rodrygo no longer has a place at Real Madrid. |
Luis Diaz's future at Anfield is in doubt after he did not play a single minute in the friendly against AC Milan in Hong Kong on July 26. Coach Arne Slot said briefly: "There are many rumors about Diaz, I cannot reveal more. He is training well, but we decided not to use him in this match."
If Luis Diaz leaves - with Bayern Munich the closest suitors - Liverpool will almost certainly target Rodrygo to fill the void on the left flank. According to Radio MARCA, the Brazilian striker is also considering his future after being left out of Xabi Alonso's plans for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Liverpool's financial strength is not an issue. The "Reds" spent nearly 300 million euros in the summer, with the blockbuster deal of Florian Wirtz worth 133 million euros - a Premier League record - and new players Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Armin Pecsi.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also targeting centre-back Ibrahima Konate, who has just one year left on his Liverpool contract and has not agreed to a new deal. Real could wait until the summer of 2026 to sign him on a free transfer, similar to what they did with Trent Alexander-Arnold before.

Konate is said to want to leave Liverpool. |
In June, the Arnold case caused a dispute between the two clubs over the release fee, when Liverpool asked for 10 million euros but Real only agreed to pay half. With Konate, Anfield will certainly not let the scenario of leaving easily repeat itself.
Currently, Real Madrid is not under much pressure to buy urgently as they have already closed a series of big deals, including Huijsen, Carreras, Mastantuono and Alexander-Arnold, with a total cost of up to 178 million euros. However, Konate is still a long-term target that the Spanish Royal team will not ignore.
