Real Madrid has made Rodrygo available for a transfer after Xabi Alonso refused to guarantee his future, but Arsenal and Liverpool have set their sights on alternative goals
Real Madrid is willing to lower their asking price of £ 78 million for Rodrygo in the hope that Arsenal and Liverpool will reconsider their views. Rodrygo, 24, is heavily connected to Madrid's move this summer, after he lost his place in the starting line-up towards the end of last season and struggled for game-time during the club World Cup.
The Brazilian is now waiting for a final decision by the new manager Xabi Alonso, while Bernabeu Chiefs talk to potential voorblers in the background. With Real Ready to Sell, Arsenal and Liverpool are the clubs that have shown the most interest so far.
Both Premier League giants are looking for a new attacker and Rodrygo's ability to play as a right or left wing player made him an attractive option. But things have changed.
Spanish outlet as a report that Liverpool cools their interest after welcoming Hugo Ekitike in a £ 79 million deal and shifting their focus to striker Alexander Isak. In the meantime, the importance of Arsenal is described as 'freezing' because they prioritize a bid for Ebereechi Eze.
Bayern Munich had asked about Rodrygo, but they are aimed at completing a £ 65.5 million deal for Luis Diaz, who replaces Ektike in Liverpool. The lack of concrete interest in the last month of the summer transfer window has encouraged to accept that £ 78 million could ask too much – and there is a new worshiper at the table.
Tottenham has 'Burst in' in the fight and promises the 24-year-old heavy investment thanks to an incoming investor from Qatar. Rodrygo would continue to play Champions League football if he came to Spurs, but he would sign for a team that recently finished in 17th place, a place above the Premier League fraud zone.
But the Brazilian international could be on the edge if he doesn't leave Madrid. Rodrygo has lost its place on the right flank of the new signature Franco Mastantuono, which is only 17 but is impressed by Alonso.
Under Carlo Ancelotti during the last weeks of last season, Arda Guler started to get Guler minutes instead of Rodrygo. Moreover, it was reported that 20-year-old Guler and Rodrygo are both disappointed about Real's so far known decision to give Kylian Mbappe the number 10 shirt after the departure of Luka Modric.
Should Liverpool and Arsenal reconsider a movement for Rodrygo? Say in the commentary part.
Rodrygo only played 27 minutes in the five-match run of Los Blancos at the Club World Cup, Alonso's first period in the lead. He was left in particular on the couch because Real was hammered 4-0 in the quarterfinals by PSG.
“The fact that he no longer played is a game-per-game decision,” Alonso explained. “The way things were going on, we needed another player.
“There has been no decisions about the future during this entire championship; we didn't play much. We start in a different context.”
