In their latest update the Spanish outlet claim Real Madrid could accept a swap if the circumstances are right. The club have shifted focus back to Saliba with Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate the other option. Although the swap deal is not officially on the table, reports suggest Real Madrid could still consider it, if Mikel Arteta is in favour.

The new Real Madrid boss previously made the bold decision to start Rodrygo in just one of Real Madrid’s six FIFA Club World Cup matches.

Tottenham Hotspur are allegedly yet to make an offer for Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo despite the recent reports. The Brazil international's future is currently the subject of much speculation, with Los Blancos believed to be open to letting him leave for the right price during this summer's transfer window.
