Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing two Real Madrid players this summer.
The Reds officially introduced Arne Slot as their new manager earlier this week and the Dutchman revealed that he has been working with staff behind the scenes to try and help improve the club.
That includes recruitment, as the Reds want to improve on last season’s third-place finish after dropping out of the title race at the end of the season.
They are likely to do business as two recent Champions League winners are reportedly on Slot’s shopping list as he looks to strengthen his squad ahead of his first campaign in charge.
According Sports stadiumLiverpool are interested in signing both Rodrygo and Arda Guler this summer, although it is unclear whether Madrid would be willing to part ways with either of them.
Liverpool are interested in signing two Real Madrid players this summer, according to reports
The two players could find themselves in the pecking order after their summer arrivals at the Spanish club.
The Reds could sign both Rodrygo (left) and Arda Guler (right) in the summer window.
Rodrygo has been one of Madrid’s stars in recent years, scoring 10 goals in 34 LaLiga games last season to help Los Blancos to a League and Champions League double.
In total, he has won two Champions Leagues and three Leagues with Madrid and, at 23 years old, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
Through UOLThe Brazilian could reportedly push to move away from the club due to the arrivals of Endrick and Kylian Mbappé, which will surely push him down the attacking pecking order.
Rodrygo, who primarily plays in a front three, prefers to play on the left but is already forced to move to the right due to Vinicius Jnr’s form on the other side.
Mbappé can play centre-back, although he has also been used predominantly on the left throughout his career, with teenager Endrick also preferring that position.
His contract runs until the summer of 2028, meaning it would be difficult for Liverpool to secure a permanent deal, although a loan deal could be an option.
On the other hand, the Reds have expressed interest in signing Arda Guler from the Spanish team.
Guler finished the season in good form for Madrid, scoring a total of six goals in 10 games in an injury-plagued season.

Carlo Ancelotti, meanwhile, could see his team raided by the Reds following their Champions League success.
Guler, who is also an attacking player, could see limited playing time but may be interested in increasing his minutes as he looks to continue his development and try to break through in Madrid.
Therefore, a loan to Liverpool could be an option to be explored this summer in a move that could benefit all parties.
According to the report, Slot sees Guler as a top target this summer, as the 19-year-old will attract the attention of several top European clubs with an impressive performance for Turkey against Georgia at Euro 2024.
