Recent reports have linked Liverpool with a potential transfer for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, while also stirring rumors about Darwin Núñez possibly leaving the club. However, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has downplayed these speculations, stating, "It's challenging for me to comment on the rumors concerning Rodrygo and Núñez. I’m uncertain about the sources of these links. Núñez is completely focused on Liverpool, and Atlético Madrid has recently made a significant investment in Julián Alvarez for €75 million. Additionally, Rodrygo renewed his contract with Real Madrid less than a year ago, demonstrating his commitment to the club."
As for Rodrygo's performance, he has had a modest start to the season, scoring five goals in ten matches. In contrast, Núñez has had limited playing time, logging just 246 minutes. Nevertheless, reports from TBR Football, notably by Graeme Bailey, indicate that Liverpool's interest in Rodrygo remains strong, despite a previous summer inquiry being turned down. While he is viewed as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah—whose contract runs until 2025—it's important to note that Rodrygo may not be leaving Real Madrid for Liverpool anytime soon.
