Reports suggest Arsenal could make a late push to land a £210k-a-week Real Madrid winger from La Liga.
Arsenal keen on La Liga ace
Arsenal’s chase for fresh firepower has taken an interesting twist. Currently, Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is high on Mikel Arteta’s wish list. The club is also weighing up a move for **Real Madrid**’s Rodrygo.
The Brazil international has emerged as a strong alternative if talks for Eze fail to reach the finish line. Arteta has made it clear that one more attacker could arrive before the deadline. But, a new signing might mean one of the current forwards heads out the door.
Rodrygo’s situation in Madrid has raised eyebrows across Europe. The winger is said to be open to a move after facing a difficult battle for minutes under head coach Xabi Alonso. Young talents like Endrick and Arda Guler are likely to see much more playtime. That leaves little chance for the winger to showcase his talents.
Competition for Rodrygo’s signature
The forward has plenty of admirers. Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester City are all watching closely. But, Arsenal’s interest could heat up fast if their move for Eze stalls. Los Blancos are understood to be open to a sale if a bid of around £100m lands on their desk. The Brazilian is paid £210k-per-week at the Bernabeu. He is rumoured to prefer remaining in Europe.
Rodrygo’s combination of pace, flair, and ability can come up big under pressure. That makes him a perfect option for the PL. For Arsenal, bringing in the winger would enhance their creativity. Additionally, they would also send a message to their title rivals.
With the window closing soon, the Emirates fans will be watching every steps. This could become one of the summer’s most exciting stories in this transfer window.
