Arsenal are on the hunt for strikers, this is at the top of the priority list. There is also no doubt that the London club will strengthen their attack on the wing. Several players are on the list of candidates, the most interesting one is at Real Madrid. Now there are signals that this star signing is becoming more and more relevant.
Rodrygo looks like a kind “mother-in-law’s dream”, but the opposing defenders have experienced a different version of the Brazilian international. Since 2019, the player, who wreaks havoc just as naturally on the left as on the right wing, has hammered in 68 goals and 51 assists in 269 games in the Real shirt. Still 24 years young, he has nevertheless come to a crossroads. Now the course can go to the Premier League.

With Xabi Alonso as the new Real coach, Rodrygo has fallen out of the new tactical system. Alonso sees it as out of the question to place Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham in the starting eleven, so some will have to be relegated to the bench. In Alonso’s first games as Real coach in the Club World Cup, Rodrygo has been given 1 game from the start, the rest he has spent a lot of time on the bench.
According to the Mirror, the Arsenal management sees this as an opportunity, with the Brazilian and his representatives becoming increasingly aware that his days in Madrid could “be numbered”.

It is reported that Rodrygo’s representatives “don’t want to skip too soon”, and Arsenal are also willing to be patient, but in talks about a price tag of €80 million, there are signals that the chances of Rodrygo ending up in an Arsenal shirt are increasing.
