According to sources in Spain, Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo will grant Arsenal permission to pursue him on one condition. With the exception of the Community Shield, the Gunners will finish the season without a trophy for the fifth consecutive year after a generally dismal campaign.
In the second half of the season, Arsenal was unable to catch up to champions Liverpool, and by the end of April, Arne Slot’s team had won the Premier League.
In the Champions League, Mikel Arteta’s team gave it their best shot, defeating reigning champions Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals before losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals.
Additionally, Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta are eager to make sure they bring in a lot of fresh talent in the summer to help them break their trophy drought the following season. Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao and Rodrygo of Real Madrid are at the top of their list for the position of winger, which is one they are trying to fill.
Andrea Berta makes contact with Real Madrid to sign Rodrygo for Arsenal
Rodrygo Goes might be a well-known brand this summer. Over the years, the Brazilian has been one of Real Madrid’s most crucial players, but for whatever reason, he is not as well-liked as players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe.
Rodrygo is not entirely content at Real Madrid, according to a May TBR Football report, and he may leave during the next summer transfer window. Rodrygo has been linked to Arsenal, and they have already made the first step.
Berta has contacted Real Madrid to inquire about Arsenal’s chances of signing the Brazil international this summer, according to GiveMeSport. It became “clear” during those discussions that the Galacticos would need at least £80 million in order to sell Rodrygo at this time. The summer of 2028 is when the versatile attacker’s current Real Madrid contract expires.
It has also been made public that Arteta believes Rodrygo has a “game-changing ability” that would propel Arsenal to the “next level.” The outcome of this is still up in the air, but Rodrygo won’t decide until he has had a chance to speak with Xabi Alonso upon his arrival at Real Madrid.
