Richard Hughes set to offer Rodrygo EXACTLY what he wants
Rodrygo is a player who has been on Liverpool's radar for a long time and now he's finally available.
The Brazilian is open to a move away from Real Madrid and the Spanish side are open to selling him as per Ben Jacobs.

Now Liverpool have reportedly held initial talks with Rodrygo last month, and they were also close to signing him back in 2017 as confirmed by the player himself.
Obviously, none of that means anything. For now, Liverpool are well stocked in the attacking department and have two very accomplished left-wingers.
But this could change very quickly. Anfield Watch revealed exclusively that Luis Diaz could leave the club this summer.
The Colombian then confirmed on Thursday that he is in talks with other clubs at the moment, which does open up the possibility of Liverpool wanting to bring in another attacker.

Liverpool won't sell Diaz unless they can replace him. Recently, there have been murmurs that Al Nassr would be willing to offer as much as €85m for him.
That would certainly open up the possibility of Liverpool moving to replace Diaz with Rodrygo considering Real Madrid do not want a lot of money for the Brazilian.
The Spanish side are only believed to be looking for a package of around €90m to €100m, which is not that much more than what Liverpool would be getting for Diaz.
And while Rodrygo rejected the chance to join Liverpool eight years ago, the Brazilian could now say yes. Especially because the Reds can make him a dream offer he can't refuse.
At Real Madrid, Rodrygo has been forced to play as a right-winger or as an attacking midfielder. This, however, is not his best position.
He's a left-winger by trade and that's where he always played at Santos. But at Real Madrid, he always had Vinicius Junior ahead of him in the pecking order.
At Liverpool this would be different. Liverpool would be offering him the role of replacing Diaz and becoming the club's first choice left-winger alongside Cody Gakpo.
Rodrygo could finally play in his ideal position, what he has wanted for years and what he has never really been able to do at Real Madrid, and never will be.
That's the advantage the Reds will have in negotiations and that's the big sales pitch Richard Hughes will be using to entice Rodrygo to make that move to Anfield.
