Serial trade! Liverpool locks in Paris striker, Real Madrid sells Rodrigo, it can be called a win-win

1:48pm, 8 August 2025【Football】

Just just now, a big news came. With Liverpool coming to Paris Saint-Germain, a chain of deals will be born next. Why do you say so? Because authoritative reporter Romano followed up with the relevant reports, he said that once the deal for Balcola to transfer to Liverpool was reached, Paris Saint-Germain will buy forward stars in the transfer market to fill the gap.

The goal chosen by Paris Saint-Germain is Brazilian winger Rodrigo, who is currently playing for Real Madrid. It is reported that in the eyes of Paris Saint-Germain executives, there is currently no so-called non-sale products in their team. As long as you can receive a suitable offer in the transfer market, any star in the team can be sold. As the main force who just straightened the team last season, Balcola performed very well. The player played 58 games for Paris Saint-Germain in various competitions and gave away 21 goals and 19 assists. He can be said to be a very impressive forward star.

Liverpool's determination to sign it to strengthen the wing is huge, and they will give a offer of more than 70 million euros. Once the two sides reach an agreement, Liverpool will usher in another big purchase in the transfer market this summer. By then, their total transfer expenditure will successfully exceed more than 400 million euros, which is very exaggerated. It also demonstrates Liverpool's determination to strengthen this summer. However, for Paris Saint-Germain, they certainly received transfer fees. But the team must maintain the current lineup competitiveness, so they also have to choose a stand-in for Balkora. The interesting thing is here, and the replacement candidate Liverpool prepared is Real Madrid teenager Rodrigo.

Objectively speaking, Rodrigo and Balcola are in similar situations. They are all young forwards who have emerged at this stage, with strong ready-to-fighting power and have proved themselves in high-level events such as the Champions League. Rodrigo sacrificed a lot of forward resources last season to give way to Mbappe and Vinicius. But even so, he still gave 14 goals and 10 assists in 51 games. And the players are now worth up to 90 million euros, which is more expensive than Balcola.

But what is embarrassing is that after Real Madrid is preparing to sell it, no European team has given a offer in nearly a month, and no one is interested in the wealthy team. The only team trying to sign it was Tottenham in the Premier League before, but after contacting Real Madrid, they immediately chose to withdraw because of the high transfer fee, which made Real Madrid very helpless. However, since Romano followed up with this news, it proves that Paris Saint-Germain really hopes to sign Rodrigo next. They will give you a good offer, after all, Paris can recycle part of the transfer fee from Barcola.

It is worth mentioning that Paris Saint-Germain senior executives and Real Madrid senior executives have been in frequent contact this summer. Both sides have tried to improve the relationship that has broken down due to friction in the transfer window. Especially when Real Madrid was poaching Mbappe before, Nasser even openly stated that he would not make any deals with Real Madrid in the future, and the relationship between the two sides once dropped to freezing point. However, as a top European club, it is inevitable to deal with each other next, and both sides know this well. If a transaction can be completed this summer, it will be considered a repair of the relationship in the short term. Based on this, Paris Saint-Germain hopes to sign Rodrigo with a number that satisfies Real Madrid. The deal could be close to €80 million, according to an insider.

Now for Real Madrid, what they most want to see is that Liverpool will hurry up and settle the deal for Balcola. This way, they can clean Rodrigo. This series of transactions can indeed be called a win-win: Liverpool strengthened the front line, and Paris Saint-Germain has undergone a blood change, but it has also repaired its relationship with Real Madrid, and Real Madrid has recovered a large amount of transfer fees. What do you think about this?
