Liverpool are preparing for a dramatic finish to the transfer window, with reports suggesting they could turn to Real Madrid forward Rodrygo if their pursuit of Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak hits a dead end.

Arne Slot’s side have already been one of the busiest clubs in Europe this summer. The squad has seen a massive shake-up, with Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez arriving to bolster the team, while big names like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Darwin Núñez, Luis Díaz, and Jarell Quansah have departed.

But the business isn’t done yet. Liverpool remain fixated on landing Isak before the deadline, even though Newcastle continue to insist their star striker isn’t leaving. Sources close to the situation claim the player himself is keen on an Anfield switch, keeping hopes alive for a late breakthrough.

🔥 Plan B: Rodrygo on the Radar
If the Magpies refuse to budge, Liverpool are reportedly lining up a sensational move for Brazilian international Rodrygo. The 23-year-old has seen limited minutes at Real Madrid under Xabi Alonso and has been repeatedly linked with a Premier League move this summer.

Clubs like Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham are also keeping tabs, but Liverpool’s interest could escalate quickly if Isak slips out of reach. Madrid are said to value the forward at around €100m (£86m), meaning any deal would be a blockbuster signing.

⚖️ Two Stars, Different Strengths

Isak: A clinical striker with pace and physical presence who could redefine Liverpool’s attack.

Rodrygo: A versatile forward capable of playing across the front line, offering Slot tactical flexibility.


With the clock ticking down, the Reds are running out of time to decide who will lead their frontline into the new season. One thing is certain—whoever arrives, it would send shockwaves through the Premier League.

👀 Will it be Isak, the proven Premier League goal machine, or Rodrygo, the dazzling Brazilian talent? The answer might just come down to the final hours of the window…
