Liverpool have been told a top Real Madrid star wants to move to Anfield after a journalist shared why the chances of a move were 70/30 in their favour.

Liverpool are making headlines again, this time by overtaking Arsenal in the pursuit of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, as reported by AS.

Newcastle are refusing to sell their star striker, and with Arsenal no longer an option, the Reds could well be the likeliest side to sign Rodrygo, who is valued at €90 million (£77m). It remains to be seen, however, if Liverpool will still consider a move for Rodrygo even if they sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Having finished second in the Premier League in three consecutive seasons, Arsenal are looking to build a squad that can end a 22-year wait for the title.

Arsenal have walked away from deals to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo and Bayern Munich defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha, according to reports.
