Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes was able to return to the transfer radar of Arsenal after the FIFA Club World Cup next month.
The Brazil -International has passed a difficult campaign for 2024/25 – especially since the beginning of 2025 – where the striker manages only one goal and three assists from the beginning of February.
That series of inconsistency has led to growing concern within the Real Madrid camp, and widespread reports that he could be sold in the summer transfer window.
Rodrygo has told Xabi Alonso about his desire to stay – and the new boss is ready to give him a chance at the club World Cup – but the situation remains open.
The Arsenal hierarchy is willing to support Mikel Arteta in the coming weeks with a deal to bring Martin Zubimendi almost complete.
Arsenal also investigates their options to sign a new attacker with Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko both on the shortlist of Gunners.
However, Arteta, however, has the hope of convincing Rodrygo not lost over a switch to North Londs, after his side last season Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League dumped.
Reports from Diario as a statement of Barcelona's urge to Nico Williams, as considering arteta to step away from an offer for the 22-year-old, to concentrate back on Rodrygo.
If Real Madrid accepted an exit for their No. 11, this would probably be in the region of € 75 million that Arsenal is open to pay.
The most important problem could be on salary with Arsenal that is said to be not prepared to match Williams of € 7-8 million a year because of their strict wage structure.
The above report claims that Rodrygo is looking for around € 12 million to make the move, which would make him in Arsenal's top five earners, which is currently not estimated at the Emirates Stadium.
