Mr. One-Hundred-Million has become a player nobody cares about. Rodrigo is eager to join Liverpool, who are busy signing Isak.

Any capable player yearns to be a starter. One of the Brazilian twins at Real Madrid, whose market value was consistently around 100 million euros, truly lives up to the title of Mr. One-Hundred-Million. However, Rodrigo has never been a key player at Real Madrid and has spent several seasons in a supporting role. With the arrival of Mbappé last season, Rodrigo's playing time has further diminished, and due to his poor form, his market value has dropped to 90 million euros, which is still substantial but somewhat inflated. After experiencing a five-month goal drought, Rodrigo is no longer part of new coach Alonso's plans, putting him in a very awkward position; he has no matches to play if he stays and no offers if he wants to leave.

According to the latest news from ESPN reporter Rodra, Rodrigo is keen to join the Premier League defending champions Liverpool. Since Liverpool sold Díaz to Bayern, they are in need of a left winger. However, Liverpool is currently focused on signing Newcastle striker and Premier League silver boot winner Isak.

It is reported that Rodrigo and his management team have repeatedly stated that their first choice is to remain at Real Madrid. However, with Ancelotti's departure, Alonso's appointment, and Gonzalo García's stellar performance at the 2025 Club World Cup, Rodrigo's position in Alonso's tactics is quite low, essentially excluded from the plans. Therefore, if Rodrigo wants to play, he must leave the team. He wishes to join Liverpool, and his best position is indeed as a left winger, but it seems that Liverpool, which is lacking a left winger, is not particularly interested in Rodrigo. Liverpool's current recruitment efforts focus on signing Isak and Gueye, with no immediate plans to bring in Rodrigo.

Why are the top clubs in the five major leagues not interested in Rodrigo? The answer lies in his inflated market value. Playing as a right winger in La Liga, Rodrigo does not measure up to Manchester United's discarded player Antony. Although the Premier League big six have money, they remain skeptical about Rodrigo's ability to perform in the Premier League.
