Liverpool could pull yet another shocker in the transfer window targeting out-of-favour Real Madrid winger and Saudi club have taken a stand on Vinicius Jr. Let’s take you through the major transfer headlines today
Liverpool to step up move for Rodrygo
Liverpool aren’t done splashing the cash in the transfer window this summer. After acquiring their fifth addition this summer in Hugo Ekitike, the Reds have now turned attention to Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.
According to reports, they are set to go all out for the Brazilian winger as Luis Diaz closes in on leaving for Bayern Munich.
The Premier League champions reportedly consider Rodrygo the best alternative to fit into Luis Diaz’s profile. Real Madrid are open to Rodrygo’s exit but want at least €90m for the player.
Saudi clubs call off Vinicius Jr move
Saudi clubs have reportedly retreated to their shell after their initial attempt to sign Vinicius Jr this summer.
However, they are still hopeful of signing the player next summer if he doesn’t renew his Real Madrid contract. It is understood contract renewal talks between Madrid and the Brazilian forward have stalled due to disagreement over wages.
