Arsenal are reportedly leading the race to secure the signing of Real Madrid star Rodrygo, according to the Spanish outlet Fichajes. The 23-year-old Brazilian winger, who joined Los Blancos from Santos in 2018, has enjoyed a successful stint at the Estadio Santiago BernabƩu, winning two Champions League titles, multiple league championships, and several other prestigious trophies.
Despite establishing himself as a vital part of Real Madridās squad, Rodrygoās future has come under scrutiny with the recent arrival of Kylian MbappĆ©, sparking speculation about his potential departure. Fichajes suggests that Rodrygo is increasingly likely to leave, with Arsenal positioned as frontrunners for his signature in the Premier League.
Real Madrid is prepared to cash in on the Brazilian if a substantial offer is made, having previously sought around Ā£134 million for his transfer during the summer window. Currently under contract until 2028, Real Madrid is in a strong position to demand a hefty fee, particularly as interest in Rodrygo grows, especially from clubs like Liverpool.
