Rodrygo is 'heading to the Premier League' after being left on the bench for Real Madrid's La Liga opener, with two giants battling for his signature.

Many Premier League clubs are in a race against time to wrap up their final additions ahead of transfer deadline day on 1 September

According to Diario AS, Real Madrid’s interest may hinge on Liverpool lowering their asking price. The Spanish club reportedly values Konaté at €20 million to €25 million, while Liverpool are holding out for closer to €50 million. Konaté is reportedly open to a move, but Real Madrid may wait until 2026, when he could leave on a free transfer.

Liverpool's rivals have reportedly withdrawn from pursuing transfer target Rodrygo, handing the Reds a chance to sign Real Madrid's Brazilian star at the second time of asking

FSG CEO of Football Michael Edwards has a long-standing admiration for Rodrygo, having first attempted to sign him from Santos in 2017 when the player was just a teenager. And it seems Liverpool could be in a position to finally land the Brazilian.

For now, Rodrygo remains a Real Madrid player, but the circumstances are shifting quickly. A player who once seemed central to Madrid’s future could soon become one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe. Liverpool’s readiness to act may define whether the Brazilian’s next chapter unfolds at Anfield.

The journalist notes that the Reds believe Isak is better value than Rodrygo despite a higher fee, claiming that Liverpool would see it as money well spent if they broke their transfer record to sign Isak.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed Liverpool’s ‘dream target’ if they miss out on Alexander Isak as Real Madrid star Rodrygo is embroiled in a potential transfer domino. Isak has made it clear to the Newcastle hierarchy that he wants a move away from St James’ Park this summer but the club chiefs rejected a £110m Liverpool bid for his services last week.
