Liverpool will reportedly launch a summer move for Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes if they fail to sign Alexander Isak.
Liverpool have been trying to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United this summer, but they have not been able to get a deal done for him. The Magpies are unwilling to sanction his departure smoothly, and Liverpool will have to pay over the odds in order to get the deal done.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, the Premier League champions are now considering a move for the 24-year-old Real Madrid attacker as an alternative to the Swedish international.
The Brazilian international has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid, and he needs to leave Los Blancos to play regularly. The player is not a key player for Xabi Alonso, and it makes no sense for him to stay at the Spanish club and sit on the bench. Rodrygo is at the peak of his career and he needs to play regularly. Liverpool will be able to provide him with that opportunity.
Liverpool could use Rodrygo
Liverpool could use a dynamic attacker like the 24-year-old, especially after the departure of Luis Diaz. The Colombian international has joined German champions, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool need someone who can operate on the left flank. Rodrygo prefers to play in that position, and he is versatile enough to slot into the role of a Centre forward as well.
There is no doubt that the Brazilian international has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Liverpool. He has won several major trophies during his career, and his winning experience makes him a good fit for an elite club. Liverpool have recently won the Premier League title, and they have been fighting for major trophies consistently. Signing someone with his quality and experience would be a wise decision.
It will be interesting to see how the situation with Isak develops. Ideally, Liverpool will look to get the deal done, and they are prepared to pay a premium as well. However, Newcastle will have to be more receptive to the idea of selling the player and be more reasonable with their demands.
