latest news as Arsenal and Liverpool target Rodrygo
The summer transfer window is heating up, and two Premier League giants—Arsenal and Liverpool
—are reportedly targeting Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Rodrygo in a potential blockbuster move.
Rodrygo’s Situation at Real Madrid
The 23-year-old has been a key player for Los Blancos since his arrival from Santos in 2019. However, with Kylian Mbappé’s impending arrivaland the rise of Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo’s role could be under threat. Despite his impressive performances (17 goals and 9 assists last season), competition for places at the Bernabéu is fiercer than ever.
Premier League Interest
Both Arsenal and Liverpool are looking to bolster their attacking options, and Rodrygo’s versatility (he can play on either wing or as a false nine) makes him an attractive target.
– the Arsenal’s Perspective: Mikel Arteta wants a world-class forward to complement Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. Rodrygo’s creativity and flair could add a new dimension to the Gunners’ attack.
– Liverpool’s Perspective: With Mohamed Salah’s future uncertain (amid Saudi Pro League interest), new boss Arne Slot may see Rodrygo as a long-term replacement. His ability to play across the front three fits Liverpool’s dynamic system.
Will Real Madrid Sell?
Rodrygo recently stated he is “very happy” at Madrid, but the club’s policy has always been to consider big-money offers for non-essential players. A fee in the range of £80m-£100m could tempt Florentino Pérez into negotiations.
What’s Next?
If either Arsenal or Liverpool formalize their interest, this could become one of the biggest transfers of the summer. However, much depends on:
– Real Madrid’s stance after Mbappé’s arrival.
– Rodrygo’s willingness to leave the Spanish capital.
– The financial power of the Premier League clubs.
One thing is certain: Rodrygo’s future will be a major talking point in t
he coming weeks.
