Liverpool contact reps of top Arsenal target

Liverpool have reportedly made contact with the representatives of Real Madrid winger Rodrygo over a potential transfer.

The Merseyside giants are facing the prospect of losing Luis Diaz, who is keen on joining Bayern Munich during the transfer window.

The Reds have already turned down a €68 million offer from Bayern, but an improved proposal could persuade them to sanction his sale.

Amidst this, Arne Slot's side have started the hunt for a replacement and they have made contact with Rodrygo's entourage over a transfer.

The Brazilian has been a key player for the Madrid giants, but his future is uncertain after his reduced game time under manager Xabi Alonso.

He has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, but just like the Reds, they have only made contact with his representatives.

Liverpool have done the same this week and it remains to be seen whether either of those clubs make a formal approach for the Madrid star.
