Liverpool are reportedly considering a dramatic late swoop for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes.
The Reds have already splashed the cash on Hugo Ekitike this summer, who has started brightly with three goals and one assist in his first three appearances.

Arne Slot’s side have looked sharp in attack, scoring nine goals in their opening three matches. But with Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez sold, the Dutch coach remains keen to add another forward.
Reports suggest Liverpool are prioritising Newcastle striker Alexander Isak. However, Rodrygo has emerged as a strong alternative if a deal for the Swede collapses before deadline day.
Rodrygo’s Madrid Struggles
The Brazilian has endured a frustrating start to the season in Madrid, struggling for game time under Carlo Ancelotti. Fierce competition has even cost him a spot in Brazil’s national team.
With the 2026 World Cup looming, Rodrygo is said to be seriously considering an exit to secure regular minutes.
Financially, a move would be tricky. The 24-year-old has a €1b release clause, though Madrid are reportedly open to a lower, more realistic fee.
Liverpool face competition, with Manchester City and Arsenal also monitoring the winger’s situation, reports Football Talk.
Given their limited attacking depth beyond Mohamed Salah, Ekitike and Cody Gakpo, a late move for Rodrygo could make perfect sense.
Whether Liverpool pursue Isak or Rodrygo, one thing is clear: Slot wants one more big signing before the window slams shut.
