Liverpool’s $125.5 Million Bid for Rodrygo Rejected by Real MadridReal Madrid has turned down a $125.5 million (£100 million) offer from Liverpool for one of its star players, as revealed by OK Diario director Eduardo Inda on the popular Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, citing anonymous sources.
Rodrygo has experienced a roller-coaster season in 2023/2024, characterized by periods of prolific goal-scoring and assisting, followed by lengthy droughts.
Despite these fluctuations, he delivered crucial performances in the Champions League, scoring against Manchester City in both quarterfinal legs and winning a decisive penalty in the semifinals against Bayern Munich.
As Rodrygo nears the possibility of securing his second Champions League title in five years with Real Madrid, questions about his future persist due to the imminent arrival of Brazilian prodigy Endrick and the anticipated signing of Kylian Mbappe.According to SPORT, Rodrygo embraces the competition and intends to remain at Real Madrid, eager to provide manager Carlo Ancelotti with enviable selection options.
OK Diario has previously reported Ancelotti’s strong belief in Rodrygo’s versatility, deeming him untouchable within the squad.Inda elaborated on El Chiringuito, stating, “The bidding club is Liverpool, and the player fits very well with their style. We’re talking about a Real Madrid winger, Rodrygo. Real Madrid’s refusal is categorical because the board values him highly.
Despite the “duplicate” talent in every attacking position, President Florentino Perez might opt to keep the squad intact for another season, especially with Madrid on the verge of a treble-winning season. This would allow time to assess how Mbappe and Endrick integrate before making any decisions about potential departures.
