Arsenal continues to pursue a deal for Rodrygo, despite increased competition from Al Nassr, who have now joined the race to sign the winger. The Real Madrid star appears to be edging closer to a departure from the Spanish club, following a drop in his standing within the squad under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
Rodrygo has been a significant figure at Real Madrid over the past few seasons and contributed to several important moments for the team. However, since Alonso’s appointment, his involvement has decreased notably. The attacker had hoped that the managerial change would provide him with more opportunities, but that has not materialised. He has found himself spending more time on the bench, particularly during Madrid’s recent campaign in the Club World Cup.
Rodrygo’s Role at Madrid Continues to Diminish
Despite his proven talent and previous contributions, Rodrygo has seen his role reduced. Madrid’s progress in international competition has not included regular appearances for the winger, and this has intensified speculation regarding his future. It now appears increasingly likely that the club will listen to offers, although they are expected to demand a substantial fee for his transfer.
Although Rodrygo has not been a regular starter in recent weeks, Real Madrid is not known for allowing key players to leave for modest fees. The expectation is that any interested party will need to meet a significant valuation if they hope to sign the Brazilian attacker.
Arsenal Still Confident Despite Competition
According to AS, Arsenal remain undeterred by both the competition and the high cost associated with signing Rodrygo. The report claims that Mikel Arteta’s side are prepared to invest heavily to secure his services, recognising the value he could bring to their squad. While the presence of Al Nassr complicates matters, the Gunners are reportedly confident that their project and Premier League status could make them an attractive destination.
If Arsenal are able to meet Madrid’s asking price, the deal may move forward in the coming weeks. Real Madrid rarely part with players easily, and when they do, the financial demands are typically considerable. However, Arsenal’s continued interest suggests that they remain committed to strengthening their attacking options with top-level talent.

Rodrygo would not be a bech warmer in Arsenal, he would be the first choice LW for sure. He is capable of playing very well across the front line thus a very valuable palyer. Just look at his stats for the past 4 years. £70mils, or so, would be a fair price and Arsenal would be mad not to jump att the possible oportunity should it preset itself.
The author didn’t mean Arsenal’s benchwarmer but rather Real’s warmer.
Sorry, my bad. Plus a language barrier – maybe… I still think that headlienr could be interpreted both ways. Or is it just my English (secong language) skills???
Have you ever seen Goes? He’s about four foot six and weighs about three of four squirrels – in the Premiership even the defenders from the EFL promoted sides would put him in their pockets easy enough. Have you not noted the job Prem defences so often do on Saka these days – and Saka is twice the size of Goes and bulked up muscle.
Just as Liverpool hand Arsenal a huge advantage coming season by blowing the pot on the lightweight stickman Florian Wirtz, Arsenal lose their senses by making Goes their record signing?
This windows gone crazy, Prem clubs blowing big money on iffy deals left right and centre. £65M for Mbeumo? How much for West Ham flop Kudos? If Kudos given 45 starts he’ll only turn up for 15 of them. don’t directors of football actually follow Premiership football?
Chelsea having a good summer, unfortunately. Jamie Gittens for just £50M absolute steal.
Have you ever watch Bernardo Silva of Man City ? Very lightweight, who would probably have to run around in a shower to get wet. He handles the PL very well.
Btw, Rodrygo is just 3 inches short of being 6ft.
Mr Drier, does BS, as I like to call him, “handle the Prem very well”?
He’s a joke of a player, borrows Kudus invisibility cloak when he’s not using it.
Yes he does “handle”the PL well. Have you not watched him ?
As for him being a “joke of a player”, that is a joke. He’s a top player who I wish had played for us.
You have some strange opinions if you are calling BS a top top player. So tell us who in this Arsenal side he confines to the bench, Saka, Odergarrd?
