reported on May 8 that Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are all interested in signing Rodrigo.

reported that the three Premier League giants have recently contacted Rodrigo's team to understand the current situation of the Brazil international.

Rodrigo has always been a target for Premier League teams, as was the case before joining Real Madrid from Santos in 2019. Liverpool coach Klopp intended to introduce him in the early days of coaching the Reds, and now the Brazilian winger has proved his strength in La Liga.

Although Rodrigo, 24, was a key player for Real Madrid under Ancelotti, has seen his playing time decrease since Mbappe joined last summer. This also means that Rodrigo lost the guarantee of his main position for the first time in his Real Madrid career.

TBRFootball chief reporter Graeme Bailey revealed that Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City have all communicated with Rodrigo's team in recent weeks to test the possibility of a transfer. In fact, these three clubs have been in touch with Rodrigo in recent years, after all, any top team is eager to sign such a player.

But this time, Rodrigo's team is open to interest from the Premier League for the first time. Sources confirmed to TBR that although Rodrigo is not satisfied with his current situation, he still plans to wait for the new coach to take office before evaluating the situation.

Ancelotti is about to leave office, and Xavi Alonso is almost certain to take over Real Madrid's coach seal. Interestingly, Ancelotti may even become the head coach of the Brazilian national team in the future. It is understood that if Rodrigo cannot obtain clear assurances about the main position, he will consider other options.

It is reported that Real Madrid executives have informed Rodrigo that his position will be re-evaluated this summer. Considering the intensity of the competition on the Bernabeu front line, this conversation is likely to be the fuse for his departure.

Spanish media previously reported that Liverpool had offered Rodrigo 84 million pounds last summer. Although this number may be slightly biased, there is no doubt that the Brazilian attacker will be a great signing under Slot.

In fact, Liverpool did negotiate with Rodrigo last year, but the players finally chose to stay in the team to fight for the main position. Rodrigo's best position is the right winger, and this position is Salah, who has just renewed his contract in Anfield. However, he is also competent on the left or middle, which also explains why Liverpool favors him so much.
