🔥 Real-Liverpool: tensions, negotiations and dumshots playing around Rodrygo and Trent Alexander-Arnold
The summer of 2025 promises to be electric between Madrid and Liverpool. As soon as the season is over, the behind the scenes of the transfer window come alive around two major names:Rodrygo GoesetTrent Alexander-Arnold. If Real Madrid seems ready to let the Brazilian go to strengthen other sectors in difficulty, Liverpool, for its part, plays the watch and locks its English vice-captain.
💥 A Real in post-Barça reflection
The defeat in the King Cup final against Barça (2-3) was experienced as a boost in the corridors of the Bernabéu. Carlo Ancelotti, however renewed, would have agreed to review some of his summer priorities. According to our sources close to the Madrid club,Florentino Pérezwould have suggested that the sale of Rodrygo – estimated at 100M € – could finance two reinforcements: a right side and a defensive midfielder.
But now, the number one defensive side remainsTrent Alexander-Arnold, a long -standing obsession with the Madrid recruitment unit. Yet,Arne Slot, just installed on the Liverpool bench,would have put his immediate vetoat any departure of the player trained at the club.
🧠 An in progress psychological game?
According to indiscretions relayed by Spanish journalists,Real would have offered a “package” including Rodrygo + Bonus to try to convince the Reds. In response, Liverpool would have been content to “take note” … without following it.
An internal advisor to the Merengue club would have even dropped, under the guise of anonymity:
“They want our talents but refuse everything compromised. It is liar poker.”
🎯 Rodrygo, collateral victim?
Stuck between more publicized stars (Mbappé, Viní Jr, Bellingham), Rodrygo would be ready to discover a new project where it would be more highlighted. Liverpool has been watching it for several seasons, and its profile-fast, versatile, used to major meetings-seems cut to take over from Mohamed Salah, whose situation remains unclear.
However, some analysts mention a possibleLiverpool double game, who would seek to raise the auctions for Rodrygo without ever separating from his frames.
🕵️ An impossible… or imminent deal?
In Madrid, tensions go up. Real requires a clear response before the end of June. Florentino Pérez wants to avoid a new sterile summer saga. But in Anfield, silence remains the favorite answer.
❗ “If they think they can trap us with their interest in Rodrygo without yielding anything, they know us badly,” said a relative of the Madrid president.
The game is just beginning. But in this showdown, one thing is certain:Those who remain silent are often those who hold the cards.
