Liverpool considers Real Madrid's Rodrygo as a replacement for Salah

Liverpool is preparing for the possibility of finding a replacement for their star Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian forward has yet to extend his contract with the Merseyside club, which expires this summer.

According to the latest reports, the Reds' scouts have identified a potential successor to Salah in the Spanish capital.

Details. As reported by El Nacional, Arne Slot, who arrived at Anfield last summer, already has a candidate in mind: Rodrygo Goes of Real Madrid.

The Brazilian forward, who joined Los Blancos as one of the most promising talents in world football, has yet to establish himself as an undisputed starter under Carlo Ancelotti this season.

While Rodrygo’s potential is undeniable, the fierce competition in Real Madrid's attack — featuring Vinícius Júnior, Kylian Mbappé, and Jude Bellingham — has limited his opportunities and playing time. This situation has drawn the attention of several European clubs, with Liverpool reportedly leading the race for his signature.

For Slot, Rodrygo is an ideal replacement for Salah. His pace, dribbling ability, and finishing skills align perfectly with the playing style the Dutch coach seeks to implement at Anfield.

However, Real Madrid is unlikely to part with Rodrygo easily. With a contract running until 2028 and a hefty release clause, the Spanish giants are expected to demand a significant fee to even consider negotiations.

Reminder. Earlier reports indicated that Real Madrid is unwilling to sell Rodrygo under any circumstances.
