This summer, Liverpool made a lot of acquisitions, including Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, who cost the club a record £116 million, and Jeremie Frimpong.
Not to mention Hugo Ekitike, who had a significant impact during Monday’s friendly victory over Athletic Bilbao with his new team.
Even after Ekitike was signed, Liverpool is still looking to add more attacking players, such as Isak, who has told Newcastle that he wants to consider his options this summer.
After recovering from his thigh injury on a solo trip to Real Sociedad, the Swede has since returned to Newcastle’s training facility.
Despite the fact that Isak has been heavily linked to leaving St. James’ Park, he has been favored to remain with the team until the start of the new campaign.
Liverpool will focus on “wild card” target Rodrygo if they are unable to reach an agreement with Newcastle for Isak.
However, Tottenham, who see him as the perfect replacement for Son Heung-min, who is expected to join Los Angeles FC, will compete with the Reds.
According to Spanish publication Marca, Liverpool has always viewed Rodrygo as a “wild card” in case talks with Newcastle come to a standstill.
“Several intermediaries” have already contacted Real Madrid to inquire about the star forward’s asking price.
Spurs’ “agents” assert that they have already made a preliminary offer to the La Liga powerhouses and are awaiting a response.
After Real Madrid and Santos reached a pre-contract agreement in 2018, Rodrygo has been with Real since June 2019.
He has scored 68 goals in his 270 appearances in all competitions.
