According to recent reports, Rodrygo Goes has decided he wants to leave Real Madrid, signaling he is ready to explore opportunities away from the Spanish giants in the upcoming transfer window — with Arsenal emerging as the club he most prefers to join.
Why Arsenal Is Rodrygo’s Preferred Destination
*ARSENAL*s brand of football — driven by **high pressing, fluid attacking movement and wide playmaking — aligns closely with Rodrygo’s strengths on the wing. Reports have suggested that Rodrygo believes his style fits better with Arsenal’s project than some domestic rivals.
At the Emirates, he would likely operate in a more central creative role with freedom to impact the game regularly — a major factor for a player desperate to maximize minutes and deliver performances that keep him in the Brazil national team picture.
Arsenal’s frontline, while talented, could use reinforcement on the wings — particularly if Gabriel Martinelli departs or plays regularly alongside Rodrygo. The Gunners’ current setup theoretically offers Rodrygo more assured playing time and a starring role within a tactical system tailored to his strengths.
This contrasts with Liverpool, where the attacking setup is in transition and might not guarantee him the consistent starts he craves. Meanwhile, Manchester United are not currently seen as a frontrunner in the race for Rodrygo, with defensive and midfield priorities dominating their transfer focus rather than elite wide attackers at this moment.
Comparisons With Other Interested Clubs
Liverpool
While Liverpool are often linked whenever a high-profile forward becomes available, their tactical profile and transfer priorities do not align as closely with Rodrygo’s career goals. Reports suggest that although they are exploring reinforcements for the left side, their main focus remains elsewhere — potentially reducing appeal compared to Arsenal’s clear offensive need and style of play.
Manchester United
Manchester United have been mentioned in broader speculation, but there is far less concrete evidence that they are close to a deal or that Rodrygo himself favors a move to Old Trafford. Given the club’s inconsistent form and squad re-building process, they are currently less attractive than a title-challenging and tactically cohesive ARSENAL side.
The Bigger Picture: World Cup, Ambition & Opportunity
For Rodrygo, the move is not just about leaving Real Madrid but reinvigorating his career ahead of major international commitments. A switch to ARSENAL offers regular first-team starts, A tactical system that suits his attacking instincts, A platform on one of Europe’s most exciting teams under Mikel Arteta
All of this feeds into the narrative that Arsenal isn’t just a destination — it’s the ideal next step for a 24-year-old looking to re-assert himself at the top level after a frustrating period in Spain
