Rodrygo has admitted he rejected a €3 million move to Liverpool back in 2017, two years before he joined Real Madrid. The 23-year-old has blossomed into one of the world’s best attackers during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, but he has been heavily linked with a summer departure amid Kylian Mbappe’s impending arrival. Arsenal and Liverpool have both been touted as potential destinations for the Brazilian winger. However, he has revealed that a move to Liverpool was on the cards seven years ago. Ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against Manchester City, Rodrygo admitted that he had the opportunity to join Liverpool for €3m, but he decided to remain at Santos instead.

Listeners of the Spanish station Cadena Ser could learn that London's Arsenal, or rather its manager Mikel Arteta, is extremely interested in Rodrygo.
