Liverpool could turn their attention to Real Madrid star Rodrygo if they are unable to sign Alexander Isak, journalist Pete O’Rourke has claimed.

The Premier League winners saw their initial £120m+ bid for the Sweden international 'collapse', with Newcastle rejecting the offer and remaining adamant that Isak is not for sale.

Willing to sign another forward following Luis Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich, Liverpool are now believed to be considering Rodrygo as an alternative to Isak, although Real Madrid have yet to green-light his potential departure.

Head coach Xabi Alonso is said to be keen on keeping the Brazilian for the upcoming season, despite several Premier League clubs registering their interest in recent weeks.
