Arsenal and Chelsea alerted as £85m target tells Real Madrid he is leaving
Arsenal made an enquiry earlier this month (Picture: Alex Davidson/Getty Images) Arsenal and Chelsea are on alert ahead of the summer transfer window with Rodrygo now desperate to leave Real Madrid, adamant he will ‘not play for the club’ again according to reports in Spain. Tension has been building between the Brazil international and Real with the winger unhappy with his role in the team with his relationship with his teammates deteriorating significantly. Rodrygo has scored 13 goals and provided 10 assists in 50 appearances this season but was left out of the side for Sunday’s Clasico defeat to Barcelona with rumours of discontent growing louder. Marca report the 24-year-old has grown increasingly frustrated with the ‘media explosion’ around Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Bellingham has become an instant hero in the Spanish capital since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023 with Mbappe now thriving on the biggest stage after his arrival last year, scoring a hat-trick against Barcelona at the weekend.

While Real’s attack is lauded as the best in European football, the presence of Mbappe and Bellingham has created problems for Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, the report claims. In Rodrygo’s case, the situation has worsened in recent weeks, going from the wideman considering his future to now deciding he does not want to play for the club beyond this season. Real will listen to offers for their winger (Picture: Getty Images) The former Santos starlet, who joined Real for €45million in 2018, is ‘angry’ with his diminished role. With Carlo Ancelotti set to take over at Brazil at the end of the season, the final decision on Rodrygo’s future will lie with incoming boss Xabi Alonso. But already, there are suggestions the Spaniard will be ‘relying more’ on Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius. Real are also said to be ‘tired’ of the player’s attitude and are not ruling out a move. Rodrygo has played a key role at Real over the years (Picture: Getty) Real Will have no shortage of takers if they to decide to cash in. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have been linked with a summer move while earlier this month, Arsenal made contact with the Spanish giants to enquire into a summer deal. It was claimed Real will be demanding a fee of €100million (£85m) for the player. Arsenal are already thought to have wrapped up a deal to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad – despite interest from Real. A striker is a top priority with Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Ipswich’s Liam Delap among their targets.
