Liverpool and City Pursue Rodrygo Amid Unrest…
Liverpool target Rodrygo was left fuming like a kettle boiling over after getting pulled off the field mid-match last weekend, as whispers about his possible Real Madrid exit grow louder than a rock concert. The Brazilian winger is in the crosshairs of several Premier League titans, with both Liverpool and Manchester City eyeballing his every move as the transfer window nears its grand finale. Following a so-so start to the season under coach Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo’s journey from a substitute to a starter has been bumpier than a bull ride at a rodeo—and his latest stint against Real Oviedo didn’t quite wow the crowd.
In the match, Rodrygo lasted just over 60 minutes before giving way to his compatriot Vinicius Jr., who ended up playing hero with an assist and a goal, helping clinch a 3-0 victory. Rodrygo, meanwhile, had a meltdown only rivaled by an ice cream cone on a hot summer’s day, as cameras caught him unleashing his inner drama queen by tossing his towel in frustration. Real manager Alonso, perhaps channeling the spirit of a fortune teller, reassured fans of Rodrygo’s importance by emphasizing his solid performance and hinting that he’s very much part of the team’s future, like a priceless antique at a museum that’s not going anywhere soon.
