Real Madrid winger Rodrygo is commanding significant wages as he explores a potential move to the Premier League this summer, with his representatives preparing for crucial discussions in England.
According to fresh reports, the Brazilian international is seeking a weekly salary in the region of £290,000 to complete a switch from the Santiago Bernabéu. His agent is set to travel to England this week to meet with two or three Premier League clubs to assess possible destinations.

Arsenal have been consistently linked with Rodrygo in recent months, identifying him as a possible marquee addition to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attack. However, the 24-year-old’s wage expectations present a potential stumbling block for the Gunners, who have been mindful of maintaining a balanced salary structure.
Sporting director Andrea Berta has already invested heavily this summer, bringing in Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke among others, but further high-value signings would require strategic financial planning.

While Arsenal remain an attractive project for top-tier talent, other Premier League sides are also monitoring Rodrygo’s situation. The Brazilian’s Champions League pedigree and versatility across the front line make him an appealing target for clubs seeking a proven attacking upgrade.
The player’s representatives will gauge the level of interest and determine whether any English side is prepared to meet both Real Madrid’s valuation and the player’s salary demands.
Next steps in Rodrygo pursuit
For Arsenal, the decision may hinge on outgoing transfers and the resolution of other priority targets, such as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze. If a suitable financial framework can be found, Rodrygo remains a candidate to join the Emirates Stadium ranks before the window closes.
With his agent’s meetings imminent, the next week could prove decisive in determining whether Rodrygo’s future lies in North London or elsewhere in the Premier League.
