One of the reasons why Real Madrid star Rodrygo is going, the club has not left this summer, is a lack of options on the table. The Brazilian has shown that he can combine it with the best in the game, but with Xabi Alonso it makes it clear that he does not play an important role in the Santiago Bernabeu, he still has to receive a solid exit offer that he would consider.
There has been a suggestion that Tottenham Hotspur could make a loan offer for Rodrygo, a movement that he is not interested in so far. This week Agent Pini Zahavi asked for meetings with Arsenal and Liverpool to discuss a possible move to the Premier League.
However, the Gunners are no longer in the race for Rodrygo. They were initially the side that was most heavily connected to the Real Madrid attacker, but as time went, they died on the left. This week, when Zahavi met Arsenal, Sport Director Andrea Berta fixed a deal for Ebereechi Eze of Crystal Palace.
As a result, Arsenal is no longer in the race for Rodrygo, say ESPN. In the meantime, Liverpool will only turn to Rodrygo if they cannot get a movement for Alexander Isak over the line.
Manchester City is the other Premier League side that has been linked to Rodrygo in recent weeks. They are planning to hold Savio Moreira, but if he goes further, it would open the door for an offer on Rodrygo. However, as it exists, Savio would require to request a movement, and traces, the most interested in him, to make an 'acceptable' offer.
This week it was reported that Rodrygo asked for a relocation from Real Madrid and opened the door even further to a sale. Unless they can find a large club that is willing to stomp the € 80-100 million in the last days of the transfer market, both may have to look at alternatives.
A few weeks ago it turned out that Rodrygo was the most enthusiastic about a move to Liverpool if he had the choice. That is perhaps due to the international teammate Alisson Becker. Football Insider says that Rodrygo Alisson asked about life on Merseyside and plays in Liverpool and the culture.
