Liverpool have been linked with a transfer move for Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez, and Fabrizio Romano has offered his insight into the situation in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside.
The Argentina international has impressed in La Liga, and there is no doubt he could be good enough to earn himself a big move in the near future.
More recently, a report by Spanish outlet Todo Filajes linked Rodriguez as a prime target for Liverpool, who are struggling in midfield at the moment and have generally had a disappointing start to the season.
While Romano says Liverpool are likely to be in the market for a midfielder in the summer of 2023, he insists he hasn’t heard anything concrete about Jurgen Klopp’s side targeting Rodriguez.
In response to Rodríguez’s links, Romano said: “Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodríguez is the last midfielder to be linked with Liverpool. As I said before, I think we can expect a lot of speculation of this kind, but my understanding is that this story is just more speculation.
“At the moment, I have no concrete confirmations about any conversation between Liverpool and Guido Rodríguez. I think he is a very good player, but they need a top player in midfield to bring new energy and quality.

“As I wrote last week, it is well known that Liverpool want to sign a top midfielder in 2023, but we will have to wait a bit longer to find out for sure who they will bring.
Liverpool fans are hoping the club can find a superior solution in the transfer market as soon as possible, and Klopp will surely need to prioritize a long-term replacement for aging stars like Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Thiago Alcantara.
