By Ravi Kumar Jha Published on July 7, 2025, 09:01 IST Real Madrid's forward Rodrygo is attracting interest from various places at Europe and there are several clubs looking to sign him, including the earlier rumour Arsenal. Apart from the PL side, the ESPN Brazil reported that the PSG is also interested in the forward and has made contact with his camp. Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes is reportedly attracting significant interest from across Europe, with several top clubs keeping a close eye on his situation at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Brazilian winger, who has played a key role in Los Blancos' recent successes, could be on the radar for a summer move if opportunities begin to dry up following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. Earlier this year, Premier League giants Arsenal were linked with Rodrygo as part of their plans to bolster their attacking options. While those rumours have cooled in recent weeks, fresh reports suggest the interest hasn't completely faded. According to ESPN Brazil, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have now joined the race and have already made contact with Rodrygo's camp. The French champions are looking to strengthen their frontline after Mbappé's departure and view Rodrygo as a high-potential addition.

Liverpool Under Slot: Ruthless, Resilient and Built to Last
Liverpool Under Arne Slot: Built for Titles, Destined for 85 Points and More Slot's Arrival and Immediate Impact Arne Slot walked into Liverpool as the quietest of arrivals, yet produced one of the loudest statements the Premier League has seen in years. Replacing a figure as monumental as Jurgen Klopp, he assessed what he had, set a clear tone and led the club to a league title in his first season. Without bombast or distraction, Slot's tactical flexibility, composure and belief in his players reset the identity of the team. Advertisement Leadership From the Front Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah were pivotal. Van Dijk took the captaincy and restored calm at the back with the presence of a general. Salah's numbers may shift with age, but his intelligence and movement remain among the best in world football. Together, they set standards that pulled the squad with them. Both played like men determined to lift the trophy in front of a full Anfield. They were not chasing glory, they were asserting it. Brains on the Pitch Alexis Mac Allister embodied the intelligence Slot demands. Trusted to read the game and adjust without constant instruction, he became Liverpool's central problem solver. Alisson Becker, in goal, remained one of the few who does not simply play the position, but shapes how it is perceived. Both players operated with trust, knowing their instincts were valued. Slot understood the value of letting talent breathe. Advertisement Expectation for More Last season did not require 90-plus points. Liverpool won the title by controlling games, managing weeks and staying consistent. But this team is built for 85 points or more without blinking. The standard is not a high ceiling, it is a reliable floor. With this group, and Slot's measured leadership, Liverpool can expect to contend every season. Reinforcements will help, but the core already carries the rhythm and resolve of champions. Liverpool have remembered who they are. The league should take notice.
