Real Madrid set 'significant asking price' for Liverpool-linked attacker

Real Madrid have reportedly set their asking price for Liverpool-linked Rodrygo.

The Reds have won their second-ever Premier League title during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing above the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle United in the division.

Arne Slot has been successful during his maiden term in charge of the club, taking the reins last summer from legendary head coach Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool collected more points last weekend when a four-goal thriller at Anfield ended in a share of the spoils between the Reds and Arsenal.

Taking to the field for the penultimate time this season, the Merseyside giants face Brighton & Hove Albion on the road on Monday night.

Real Madrid set Rodrigo asking price?

According to Football Insider, Real Madrid are beginning to finalise their transfer strategy surrounding attacker Rodrygo ahead of the summer.

The report claims that Los Blancos could be set to wave goodbye to the 24-year-old, who has won the Champions League in recent times with the club.

It is understood that Real Madrid want to pocket around £100m from the sale of Rodrygo, with the forward one of the top players in his position.

There was speculation that Carlo Ancelotti's troops could accept an offer in the region of £70m, although the Spanish giants are supposedly demanding more.

Liverpool are the headliners of the list of potential suitors for Rodrygo, joining the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in the race.

Who needs Rodrygo the most?

With the futures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez in doubt, Liverpool could do with the addition of a world-class attacker during the upcoming window.

Chelsea have been stockpiling talent in recent years and Rodrygo could be the latest of those, given that he will not be sent out on loan under any circumstances.

Manchester City have gone the entire campaign trophyless and need some attacking impetus to get their title-winning train back on track.
