BREAKING NEWS: “I am ready to take the job, but on one condition — you must bring him to Anfield along with me.” Those were reportedly the powerful words of Zinedine Zidane, as sources close to the French legend reveal he is open to taking over as Liverpool’s new manager

🚨 **BREAKING NEWS:** “I am ready to take the job, but on one condition — you must bring him to Anfield along with me.” Those were reportedly the powerful words of Zinedine Zidane, as sources close to the French legend reveal he is open to taking over as Liverpool’s new manager — but only if one major demand is met. According to Sky Sports reports, the former Real Madrid coach has told Liverpool’s hierarchy that he would only accept the job if the club agrees to sign **Rodrygo Goes** from Real Madrid.

This sensational revelation has sent shockwaves across the football world and set social media ablaze, with Liverpool fans buzzing over the possibility of seeing one of football’s greatest minds at the helm of Anfield. Zidane, who has been out of management since leaving Real Madrid, is said to be seriously considering the offer, as Liverpool’s board looks for a solution following **Arne Slot’s disastrous start to life in England**. The Reds’ season has spiraled out of control — four consecutive Premier League defeats have left fans furious and calling for immediate change.

Reports suggest the Liverpool board, led by FSG, has been in quiet contact with Zidane’s camp for weeks, as pressure mounts on Slot. The fans’ message is clear — they want the Dutchman out and Zidane in. But Zidane, known for his calm authority and precise footballing vision, has drawn his line in the sand. His demand? Bring Rodrygo to Anfield.

Zidane reportedly believes that the young Brazilian winger would be the *perfect replacement for Mohamed Salah*, who has struggled to rediscover his magic touch this season. Sources close to Zidane have said he sees Rodrygo as a “future Ballon d’Or contender” if given the right environment and confidence — something he plans to build at Liverpool. “Rodrygo is not just a winger; he is intelligence, rhythm, and precision combined. If Liverpool can bring him, we can build something special again,” Zidane is quoted as saying.

While many doubted Zidane’s willingness to return to club management after leaving Madrid, insiders claim he has been waiting for the “right project.” Liverpool, with its iconic history, passionate fans, and competitive platform, fits that bill perfectly. The Frenchman reportedly sees the Premier League as the ultimate challenge to his managerial reputation — and with Rodrygo as his key signing, he’s ready to begin a new era.

The news has sparked a flood of reactions from pundits and fans alike.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher reacted moments after the story broke, saying:

> “If Liverpool can pull this off, it would be monumental. Zidane is a serial winner, and Rodrygo under him would flourish. But FSG need to back it up. We’ve seen too many empty promises when it comes to transfers.”

Former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand added:

> “Zidane knows what he wants, and if it’s Rodrygo, you have to trust his vision. He turned players like Vinícius Jr. and Valverde into world-class stars. Liverpool’s squad needs that spark again.”

Liverpool fans have taken to social media in excitement and frustration at the same time. One fan wrote:

> “This is amazing news 😱👏 It’s just up to the recruitment team now! They haven’t been giving us good players, but this should be easy for them 🙏.”

Another added:

> “FSG can’t mess this up. Zidane + Rodrygo at Anfield? That’s a dream come true. We’ve been screaming for a change and this could be it!”

Meanwhile, Spanish journalist Guillem Balague confirmed that Zidane remains in contact with his former player and believes Rodrygo would be open to reuniting with him. “Rodrygo isn’t enjoying much playing time under Xabi Alonso right now,” Balague explained. “Zidane feels this is the perfect time to bring him somewhere he’ll be the star, and Liverpool could be that stage.”

Despite the growing excitement, the move won’t be easy. Real Madrid are reportedly not keen to sell Rodrygo mid-season, but sources say that Zidane’s influence could change things if he takes the Liverpool job. Zidane is believed to have already spoken with his representatives, making it clear that Rodrygo would be central to his Liverpool project.

In one of his recent private remarks to his close circle, Zidane reportedly said:

> “Liverpool is a club that breathes history. You can feel the power of the fans, the energy of the stadium. But for me to lead this team, I need the right tools. Rodrygo is one of them. With him, we can rebuild something extraordinary.”

As pressure mounts on Arne Slot after another weekend defeat, insiders believe a decision could be made sooner rather than later. Liverpool’s next fixtures are seen as “make or break,” and with Zidane’s name dominating headlines, it feels like only a matter of time before a change is made at Anfield.

If the board agrees to Zidane’s demand, Liverpool could be on the verge of a new golden era — led by one of football’s most respected tacticians and powered by one of Brazil’s brightest stars. For now, the football worl

d waits, as Anfield holds its breath.
