**_Arsenal are reportedly no longer in the race to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo this summer._**
The 24-year-old had previously been identified as Arsenal's top target to strengthen the left-wing position ahead of next season, with discussions held with his representatives on multiple occasions.
Several top European clubs, including Liverpool and Bayern Munich, have also been linked with a move in recent weeks.
However, it now appears that Arsenal have pulled out of the race.
According to **_[Cadena SER](https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/07/16/rodrygo-goes-se-aleja-del-arsenal-tras-las-llegadas-de-madueke-y-gyokeres-cadena-ser/?outputType=amp)_**, it is considered highly unlikely that Rodrygo will join the Gunners this summer. Mikel Arteta's side are understood to no longer be pursuing the Brazil international.
Meanwhile, **_ESPN Brasil_** reported yesterday that Liverpool have opened talks with Real Madrid over a potential deal.
