The summer has not even reached its peak, yet Arsenal are already shaping up for a busy transfer window.
A top attacker is on Mikel Arteta’s wish list, and one name has caught the club’s full attention.
It is a situation that has quietly developed for months.
While other players have flourished under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid, Rodrygo has found himself slipping down the pecking order.
A surprising lack of minutes during Madrid’s Club World Cup matches raised further questions about his role in the team.
Even last season, there were doubts about his long-term future in Spain.
Premier League clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham have all kept tabs on his situation. Yet in recent weeks, one club has taken the lead—Arsenal.
As reported by SER Deportivos, Arsenal’s interest is genuine. The club believe Rodrygo fits well into Arteta’s system.
With doubts over Gabriel Jesus and the need for more firepower, the Brazilian forward is viewed as a serious option.
Discussions are expected to stretch into August, as the deal will not be easy.
Rodrygo is still exploring other possibilities, especially with Manchester City keeping a close watch.
But if the door opens, Arsenal are ready to act. The key detail, however, is the price.
Real Madrid have made their stance clear. They are willing to consider a sale, but only if the right offer comes in.
According to SER Deportivos, the asking price for Rodrygo is around €90 million.
For Arsenal, it is a bold figure but one that reflects the talent and potential of Rodrygo.
Whether they will meet that demand remains to be seen, but the Gunners now know exactly what it will take to bring Rodrygo to Arsenal.
