Arsenal s appearance in Rodrigo, Real Madrid asks for 90 million euros

According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Arsenal is interested in Real Madrid winger Rodrigo and held preliminary negotiations with his agent last month. This summer, Arsenal hopes to step up offensive firepower, but they have almost lost competition for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, who has been locked in by Barcelona.

Rodrigo's future in this La Liga club remains uncertain despite Real Madrid's replacement head coach, with Xavi Alonso replacing Ancelotti. However, Real Madrid priced him at about 90 million euros (about £77 million), which could discourage Arsenal. North London teams are looking to bring in a new No. 9 striker, who can't afford to spend most of their transfer budget on a winger.

Rodrigo can serve as center, but he is mainly a left winger. Although he may be better than Martineli and Letrosad, it seems unlikely that Arsenal will meet Real Madrid's asking price. The 24-year-old Brazilian scored 14 goals and assisted 10 times in 51 appearances in the 2024-25 season, while in the 2023-24 season, he scored 17 goals and assisted 9 times. If Arsenal can sign him, he will be an important addition to the team's offensive end. He is one of the most exciting attackers in the world, and his talent and talent will make fans crazy if he can come to Emirates Stadium.

However, if Real Madrid wants to sell Rodrigo, they need to lower the asking price. Arsenal will continue to focus on the situation in the coming weeks as they hope to enhance their choices on the offensive end. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta hopes to have high quality roster depth at every position next season as they have missed the Premier League title for the third consecutive season. Sports director Andrea Beta is seeking to make necessary signings this summer. So far, Arsenal has not completed any signings and they hope to act quickly after the transfer window opens.
