Arsenal remain in contention to sign Rodrygo during the current transfer window, with the Brazilian attacker potentially set for a departure from Real Madrid. Speculation surrounding his future has intensified, as the player does not appear to have the full confidence of manager Xabi Alonso.
Alonso’s lack of reliance on Rodrygo since taking over at the Spanish club has fuelled rumours that the forward could be made available for transfer. This situation presents an opportunity for Arsenal, who have been monitoring the player closely for several months and continue to express interest in securing his services.
Arsenal Monitoring Rodrygo Despite Recent Signings
Although the signing of Noni Madueke led to suggestions that Arsenal’s interest in Rodrygo may have cooled, recent developments indicate that the club’s interest remains. Despite some reports stating that Mikel Arteta’s side had ended their pursuit, Arsenal still view Rodrygo as one of the most talented attacking players they could potentially add to their squad in this window.
The Gunners have been actively working on several fronts to strengthen their team, and while their focus has been spread across multiple targets, a move for Rodrygo is not off the table. The club are maintaining a watching brief on the situation at Madrid, aware that the dynamics may shift in their favour if the Spanish side adjust their valuation.
Price Remains the Main Obstacle
According to Football Insider, Rodrygo remains firmly on Arsenal’s radar. However, the report makes clear that the club is unwilling to proceed with any deal unless Real Madrid lowers its current asking price. At present, the fee being demanded is considered too high by Arsenal, and they have decided to wait rather than rush into negotiations.
Should it become evident that Rodrygo is not part of Alonso’s plans moving forward, there is a strong possibility that Madrid may revise their expectations. If that happens, Arsenal may be ready to make their move and bring the Brazilian to the Premier League. Until then, they are expected to remain patient, watching the situation unfold in Spain.

After all the endless speculation, Rodrygo may not be put on the market after all.
Reports from Spain today suggest Real Madrid are considering selling Vinicius Jr unless he reduces his salary demands (which would make him the best paid player and break the club’s salary structure, which RM President Perez won’t allow).
If that happens – and RM would probably get quite a lot more for him than Rodrygo – then Rodrygo may well not be put on the market after all.
Strange as Mbappe is apparently already on 500k a week (pounds), that they wouldnt let Vini match those.
No, not really because that would put Vini above everyone else at the club in the wage hierarchy, so they’d push to increase their wages accordingly. It’s the club’s salary structure that’s the important issue here. It was very tricky getting Mbappe into top spot. I doubt Perez will go through that again for Vini.
Unless it were a Saudi club, it would seem that City115 and perhaps PSG would potentially be the only players in the Vini sweepstakes. I doubt that Vini would be open to a move to PSG after the ongoing wage fiasco with Mbappe.
That’s apparently what Real Madrid is hoping for although whether Vini would want to go to Saudi at this stage in his career remains to be seen.
It makes more sense to sign Eze. Please Arsenal, listen for once to the fans. Eze takes us a level high and is more affordable. Can operate in multple positions
I tend to agree Bertie.Alonso may well decide to unload Vinicius who seems to think that he is absolved from defensive duties in view of his “superstar status” .Having to contend with players with huge egos such as Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham is a new challenge for Alonso who has only to look at the success of PSG which is based on high energy teamwork rather than egotistical superstars many of whom are past their best.
If Rodrygo was a Chelsea player or if Real Madrid had an American billionaire owner, we’d have signed Rodrygo by now.
That seems to be the main Arsenal transfer policy these days 😂
There’s no way Rodrygo comes to Arsenal. Unless there are around five smoke screens up at the minute. Way too many rumours going around. Next we’ll in for Haaland! 🤣🤣🤣.
I think the price will drop eventually buy I’m not sure if we’ll have the resources to act on it.
Rodrygo is worth the money placed on him, i hope Arsenal can get the deal done
