BREAKING: Liverpool open talks with Real Madrid to sign Arsenal winger target — potential MAJOR blow to Gunners’ pursuit of Rodrygo

Liverpool have reportedly opened talks with Real Madrid over the signing of Rodrygo this summer, amid strong interest from Arsenal.
 

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a potential summer exit from the Santiago Bernabeu in recent weeks, with Arsenal previously seen as the clear favourites to land him ahead of next season.

However, Liverpool's interest has gained momentum in recent days.

According to ESPN Brasil, Liverpool have entered the race for the Brazilian's signature and have already initiated talks with Real Madrid regarding a possible summer deal.

With Luis Diaz reportedly keen to leave Anfield in search of a new challenge, Arne Slot's side are expected to target a replacement — and Rodrygo is believed to be high on their shortlist.

Slot is understood to be a big admirer of the Real Madrid winger.
