The Gunners are currently two points behind Liverpool as they pursue the Premier League crown, and the club’s management is already planning for the 2024–2025 campaign. Brazilian attacker Rodrygo has reportedly become Arsenal’s newest target, according to Football 365. Reports from the Spanish publication Nacional suggest that the Gunners have made a bid for the 23-year-old winger.
Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, has stated that he is open to negotiating Rodrygo’s exit should the right offer come along. The Brazilian is allegedly eager to stay at the Bernabeu despite interest from elite European teams like Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool, so Arsenal will have fierce competition for his signature.
Arsenal will have to pay a high price to acquire Rodrygo, as Perez is reportedly demanding a transfer fee of more than €90 million. Arsenal is adamant about pursuing the Brazilian in spite of the financial obstacles; he has shown promise since joining Real Madrid from Santos in 2019. Thanks to his efforts, Rodrygo has made 138 league games for the Spanish powerhouses and scored 25 goals in La Liga. He has also established himself as a mainstay in the Brazilian national team lineup, amassing 22 caps and scoring five goals in that capacity.
