Arsenal Begin Talks to Sign Rodrygo
Arsenal have entered initial talks to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo as part of their search for attacking reinforcements this summer, according to multiple reports.
The 24-year-old Brazilian has reportedly been made available for transfer by Madrid, who are said to be disappointed with his performances before a recent injury.
As they look to reshape their squad and fund new signings, Los Blancos are now open to offers for Rodrygo — a player they once saw as a cornerstone of their future.
Transfer expert Ben Jacobs confirmed that Arsenal, along with Chelsea and Liverpool, are monitoring Rodrygo’s situation closely.
He described the winger as a “market opportunity” and noted that Madrid may demand around €100 million for his signature.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg added that Arsenal have already held preliminary discussions over a possible move.
While the talks mark a significant development, the deal is expected to be complex due to Rodrygo’s high valuation and competition from other top clubs.
Arsenal are also weighing up other options on the wing, including Athletic Club’s Nico Williams — who has a more affordable release clause but would still command high wages and significant agent fees.
Additional names linked to the Gunners include Antoine Semenyo, Bryan Mbeumo, and Leroy Sané.
Should Arsenal manage to land Rodrygo, it would represent a major statement of intent from Mikel Arteta’s side as they look to bolster their squad for another title push next season.
