Door opens for Liverpool to sign world-class winger

Arne Slot's team is undergoing a metamorphosis this summer. They were already the best side in the Premier League by a country mile last season.

Now they have added even more firepower to the squad and have upgraded Slot's options in several areas. Florian Wirtz has the potential to give even more ammunition in attack alongside Mohamed Salah.

On the wings, the speed and energy of Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez will make the Reds even more unpredictable.

Meanwhile, Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival alongside Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi will push Alisson to become even better as the club's no.1 goalkeeper. Mamardashvili after all is a real threat to his position as the club's first choice.

On top of that, more arrivals are expected. Liverpool want a no.9 and at this stage it looks very likely that the no.9 they will sign could become Hugo Ekitike.

But he won't be the only attacker coming in.

Several other Liverpool players face uncertain futures at the club. Darwin Nunez is still open to leaving the Reds. It remains to be seen what happens to Federico Chiesa.

Meanwhile, the likeliest player at the moment to leave is probably Luis Diaz. the Colombian plans to leave the club this summer and Bayern Munich are accelerating a move to sign him.

With Diaz on the move, Liverpool will need to find a replacement for him and it looks like the doors are now slowly opening for them to sign a world-class winger.

One player who has been on Michael Edwards' radar for close to a decade is Rodrygo. Around eight years ago when the Brazilian was just 16-years-old, he turned down a move to Anfield.

Back then, Rodrygo was holding out for his 'dream' move to Real Madrid, which in the end came to fruition. But now that dream is facing a major obstacle.

According to Spanish journalist, Anton Meana speaking on El Larguero, Rodrygo needs to leave Real Madrid. The Brazilian is no longer considered a serious option in Xabi Alonso's squad and the doors have opened for him to make a move to the Premier League.

The reporter also claimed that Arsenal are no longer an option for Rodrygo but Chelsea could still be in the conversation for him.

Meana also mentioned how Diaz's move to Bayern will 'open the door' for Rodrygo to join Liverpool. And it seems like the club's pursuit and move will hinge on that factor.

Diaz, at this stage, looks increasingly likely to leave so the doors will open. Whether Liverpool can strike an agreement remains to be seen.

It's definitely a move that is worth keeping a close eye on. There's always the danger of Chelsea hijacking the deal, too.
