Arsenal have yet to make a bid for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo this summer, according to reports - though their interest has not been ruled out as we shape up for a busy end to the transfer window.
The report by Guillem Balague states that Real insist that Arsenal haven't made an approach for Rodrygo at this stage in the transfer window, despite reports that the Gunners are looking to add him to their ranks ahead of a potential move to the Emirates Stadium in the final fortnight of the transfer window.
Report: Arsenal 'Yet to Make Bid' for Real Madrid Star Rodrygo

Mikel Arteta's men have already landed Noni Madueke from London rivals Chelsea in the transfer window, where he'll act primarily as backup to Bukayo Saka on the right wing, whilst Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are set to battle it out for minutes on the left flank as the north London outfit aim to end their half-decade long trophy duck under the Spanish boss.
However, with Manchester City deciding to keep Savinho at the club, that has ruled them out of the race, alongside the former Santos star failing to tell Xabi Alonso that he wishes to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
There haven't been any offers for his services at this point, with Real asking for €100million (£86million) to let him leave the Spanish capital, but that would be the fee for now - with Balague claiming that they could accept as little as €60million (£50million) for his signature closer to the end of the transfer window.
As it stands, nobody expects him to leave, though Arsenal's interest hasn't been denied and that could stand them in good stead to complete a move for his talents.
With silverware being the focus for the Gunners, Rodrygo's determination and experience at winning trophies could be ideal. In just six years in Spain, he's won three La Liga trophies, two Champions League winners' medals, a Copa del Rey and various supercups - a list of accolades that Arsenal could only have dreamed of in recent times.
At the age of just 24, Rodrygo's preference to play off the left would suit him in north London, a position he has been denied of starring in thanks to the strong form of Vinicius Jr, let alone since Kylian Mbappe joined on a free transfer last summer. If Arsenal can complete a move for the Osasco-born talent, that could catapult them into becoming genuine title contenders.
