Arsenal Hit With Harsh Reality in Race for Real Madrid Star Wanted by PSG, Manchester City | OneFootball

PSG are reportedly leading the race to sign Rodrygo, with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City also closely monitoring the Real Madrid star’s situation.

Real Madrid are expected to make major changes this summer, and several key players from their Champions League-winning squad could be on the move. Rodrygo is one of the most sought-after names.

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid would consider parting ways with the Brazilian winger if they receive an offer in the region of €100 million. The club are looking to reinforce its midfield and defense, and a big sale like Rodrygo’s could help fund that overhaul.

Despite the rumors linking Arsenal to Rodrygo, Paul Robinson told Football Insider he doesn’t think the Gunners are a big enough pull for the Brazilian.

“It’s not an attractive proposition for Rodrygo playing at Real Madrid to then go to a team like Arsenal,” Robinson said. Yes, they’re competing on every front, on every level, but are they one of the European giants?

“They’re an attractive proposition for a certain level of player, bracket of player, but I think he’s in the bracket above. If Arsenal can push the bar out and get a player like that, it would be a real statement, but I don’t think they’re in the ballpark for him.”

Sports Zone recently reported that Rodrygo is no longer considered untouchable by Real Madrid’s leadership. His representatives have already spoken with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, and there have also been conversations with PSG, though the French club is approaching things more cautiously.

According to a previous report from Diario AS journalist Eduardo Burgos, Arsenal are one of the clubs showing strong interest in Rodrygo. The Gunners are closely monitoring his situation heading into the summer, but so far, discussions have remained informal and there hasn’t been any real progress.
