Rodrygo, who has been a crucial part of Madrid’s squad, may face increased competition for a regular starting spot in the 2024/25 season.

This is because of the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and the potential threat from Arda Guler.

This uncertainty has led to speculation that both Liverpool and Manchester City could make a move, with the English clubs viewing him as a long-term asset.

Manchester City are particularly keen on Rodrygo as a possible replacement for Julian Alvarez, who is set to join Atletico Madrid.

On the other hand, Liverpool see Rodrygo as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah, who is drawing attention from Saudi Pro League clubs.

Despite the interest, Rodrygo has shown little desire to leave the Spanish capital.
