Arsenal have been handed a significant boost in their pursuit of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes after Manchester City decided to drop their interest in the player. The Premier League champions have shifted focus to keeping their winger Savinho, effectively opening the door for Arsenal to reignite talks with the Brazilian star.
Rodrygo, 24, has found his playing time at Real Madrid curtailed amidst stiff competition from teammates like Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe. With Real Madrid reportedly willing to let him leave for a transfer fee of around €90 million (£76.8m), Arsenal sees a valuable opportunity to bolster their attack.
The Gunners have shown keen interest in strengthening their squad’s creativity and goal-scoring options, especially on the wings. Rodrygo, who can operate equally well on the right or left flank, offers versatility and proven La Liga experience, having scored six goals and provided five assists in 30 appearances last season.
However, the transfer is not without complications. Arsenal reportedly prefer a loan arrangement, while Real Madrid’s asking price is steep. Additionally, Liverpool is also in the mix, with reports suggesting Rodrygo favors a move to Anfield, adding to the competition.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to add a new left-winger, given inconsistent performances from Gabriel Martinelli and injury concerns over Leandro Trossard. Rodrygo’s arrival could address these gaps and elevate their offensive threat as they aim to challenge for the Premier League title.
As the transfer window progresses, Arsenal will need to move quickly to make space in the squad and secure terms with Real Madrid to finalize this potential high-profile signing.
