Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Rodrygo this week but the Brazilian has now been advised against making the switch from La Liga to the Premier League.
The 24-year-old is one of the best forwards in Europe but he is struggling to fit into the Galactico culture at Real Madrid with the trio of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham at the centre of the Madrid side.
He has still managed 13 goals and 10 assists this season but a report this week claimed that Rodrygo has “been locked away in his house thinking about his future.”
MARCA reports that he “has been thinking for a few months that his time at Real Madrid is coming to an end.”
Liverpool could do a lot worse than adding Rodrygo to their attack given he has a total of 68 goals and 50 assists since moving to Madrid from Santos in 2018.
Anfield would be a great place to continue his career but he is being warned about the challenges of moving to the Premier League where diminutive but talented players aren’t guarenteed to succeed.
Rodrygo told not to make the move to the Premier League to avoid a fate similar to Savinho
ESPN’s Craig Burley said: “I don’t think he [Rodrygo] needs to go anywhere. I mean he has played, had his moments. Vinicius has not been great. Mbappe has not been great. Bellingham has not been great.
“He’s not got the problem that Endrick, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz have. Rodrygo gets plenty of playing time. But he is always going to be the guy who is always going to be surplus if it comes push to shove. But I don’t think that is a reason to leave Real Madrid.”
On where Rodrygo would be best suited if he did leave Real Madrid, Ale Moreno said: “I don’t think Rodrygo is in a place right now where he will be number one, two or three. He already feels left out and will always feel left out if he is in Real Madrid. But I think La Liga is the place for him.
“The struggles Savinho has had at Manchester City, you can see Rodrygo having similar struggles in the Premier League that demands a certain level of physicality or a manager that demands that he has defensive responsibilities, more defensive responsibilities than he has at Real Madrid.
“He needs to go to a place where he is THE guy. If I’m thinking La Liga and I’m thinking THE guy, I’d say Villareal. Now everything is around Rodrygo. But I don’t think he can be that guy for a top-tier team. That is where I see him as a player.”
