In a significant development in the potential blockbuster transfer of Rodrygo, Real Madrid are reportedly now waiting for Liverpool to initiate official talks for the Brazilian forward.
According to a report from Okdiario, the Spanish giants are ready to negotiate and are anticipating a call from the Premier League club. Formal talks between the two sides could now begin as early as next week.
This marks a notable softening of Real Madrid’s earlier stance. Previously, the club had demanded a fee well in excess of €100 million just to open a dialogue. This new willingness to negotiate is likely linked to their recently confirmed plan to offload several attacking players this summer to balance their squad.
Real Madrid’s need to sell has seemingly opened the door for Liverpool, who remain in pole position to sign the player. The Reds have identified Rodrygo as a top target to reinforce their attack and now have a clear green light to proceed with their approach.
With Madrid ready to come to the table and Liverpool leading the race, the focus will now shift to the negotiating table.
The path is now clear for one of the summer’s biggest potential transfers to accelerate. All eyes are on Liverpool to make the next move as Real Madrid waits for the phone to ring to begin final negotiations over Rodrygo’s future.
