Arsenal is going all-in this summer. After years of having become quantity, the North London club is determined to make the leap from contenders to champions – and they don't stop. With Kepa Arrizabalaga and MartÃn Zubimendi already on board, sports director Andrea Berta continues to reform the team, and the Brazilian winger of Real Madrid has become a top priority.
How much is Real Madrid ready to sell Rodrygo?
The plan? To link Rodrygo to Bukayo Saka as the attacking cornerstones of the long -term project of Mikel Arteta. The conversations with the Rodrygo camp actually started before the end of last season, and if he left Real Madrid, Arsenal is ready to submit a blockbuster offer – one that could get € 90 million (about $ 97 million), making it possible to make the most expensive signing of the club ever.

But don't expect any fireworks yet. This is a slow-burn operation per design. Rodrygo has made it clear that he does not want to discuss his future until after the World Cup 2025 Club and chooses to remain focused on the competition for the time being – even if his role is limited. That tournament closes in August, and only then will Arsenal make their move.
The timeline is already appropriate: as soon as the World Cup Club is over, Rodrygo has an important conversation with Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso to clarify where he is in the pecking order of the team. If he is not part of the long-term vision, he will not resist moving-as long as he can choose his next destination.
Rodrygo would be the crown jewel in a renewed Arsenal team that is carefully assembled.

But make no mistake: Rodrygo is the headliner. Arsenal wants him to be the explanation that the summer signs.
How the Gunners will make room for Real Madrid Superstar
Before the club can fully do their summer spree, Greenlicht, however, some household is required. Arsenal is preparing for a wave of departure. Jorginho and Thomas Partey are already on the road and more outputs are expected in the coming weeks. Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Fábio Vieira and Reiss Nelson are all available – ideal for permanent transfers, although loans are on the table if necessary.
Then there are two wildcards: Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. Martinelli is expected to stay at least one season – unless there is a huge offer from Saudi Arabia. With another year about his deal next summer, Arsenal will have to decide whether he wants to expand his contract or cash. Trossard, on the other hand, is already for sale, but only if the right offer arrives.
Arsenal believes that their time is now. And if everything falls into place, Rodrygo can be the last part of the puzzle.
