Arsenal and Manchester City are on alert over Rodrygo Goes’ situation, with the winger set to reassess his future at Real Madrid between now and January.
According to TBR, Rodrygo Goes is reportedly set to reassess his future at Real Madrid between now and January. The Brazilian could make a firm decision on his future then, which has alerted the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City over the winger’s potential availability.
Rodrygo Goes was a big subject during the summer window, as there were plenty of stories in the media suggesting the winger was ready to leave Real Madrid. The arrival of Xabi Alonso at the helm cast doubts early on at the Club World Cup, and his situation under the new manager has not improved since.
Alonso does not view Rodrygo as a sure starter in his system, and that fueled speculation surrounding the Brazilian’s future at Real Madrid. Had he left the club, he would have had plenty of offers from some of the top Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Manchester City, as he chose to stay at the Spanish giants.
Arsenal were expected to pursue the winger as they sought a solution to their problem at left wing. They did sign Eberechi Eze, and despite the arrival of the Crystal Palace star, they could have pursued a move for the 24-year-old Real Madrid star had Gabriel Martinelli departed, which didn’t happen.
Arsenal are now alert to the situation of the 24-year-old Real Madrid star should he decide to leave the Spanish giants in January or even next summer. The Gunners are expected to make a huge offer if they were given any sort of encouragement over the Brazilian, but they will not be alone in the race.
Manchester City are still interested in Rodrygo Goes
Manchester City wanted Rodrygo as a replacement for Savinho, who was chased by Tottenham in the summer. Pep Guardiola eventually decided to close the door for Spurs and keep hold of Savinho, but they continue to retain an interest in the 24-year-old Real Madrid star.
Manchester City will do their best to get a deal in place should they sell Savinho either in January or next summer, as Rodrygo is seen as the ideal replacement. The former Premier League champions and Arsenal could ensue a transfer battle for the 24-year-old Real Madrid star, which could be one of the big stories either in the winter window or next summer.
