Arsenal stance on signing Rodrygo this summer revealed as Chelsea make first move
Rodrygo will be a man in demand this summer (Picture: Getty) Arsenal are weighing up a move to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo with the Premier League’s elite set to do battle for his signature this summer. The Brazil international appears set to leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season with his relationship with the club rapidly deteriorating. Rodrygo was an unused substitute in Sunday’s Clasico defeat to Barcelona having reportedly informed the club he will not play for them again. The 24-year-old has grown has grown increasingly frustrated with the ‘media explosion’ around Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe this season, unhappy with his diminished role in the side. Developments in Spain have alerted a host of Premier League sides with Real prepared to sell the winger at the end of the campaign.

Arsenal are among them with new sporting director Andrea Berta leading their recruitment drive. A deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad is thought to be wrapped up with strengthening the Gunners’ forward line their biggest priority. Rodrygo looking for a way out (Picture: Getty Images) While a new striker is top of their list, another wide option to provide an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard is under consideration. AS report Rodrygo is an option admired by Berta and is among the options on Arsenal’s shortlist at the Emirates. Manchester City and Chelsea have also shown interest, with Rodrygo rejecting a huge offer to move to the Etihad last summer despite giving ‘serious consideration’ to a move to England. Chelsea’s interest will surely be dependent on the Blues securing Champions League qualification. Another Spanish outlet in Sport claim City and Chelsea have already contacted Rodrygo over a summer move and are now awaiting his final decision. An unnamed club in Saudi Arabia have also reportedly put an offer in at this early stage. Real will sell Rodrygo for €100m (Picture: Getty) Liverpool meanwhile have been tipped to enter the race for the Real star, despite Mohamed Salah committing to a new deal and Luis Diaz indicating his future remains at Anfield. Manchester United are also named as an interested party should they qualify for the Champions League by beating Tottenham in next week’s Europa League final. United will try to offload Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony permanently this summer with questions still remaining over Alejandro Garnacho’s long-term future, leaving plenty of room for reinforcement in wide areas. Rodrygo’s release clause stands at a colossal €1billion but Real are prepared to sell him for €100million (£85m) this summer. Incoming coach Xabi Alonso, replacing Carlo Ancelotti who is set to take on the Brazil national team job, will ultimately have the final say on Rodrygo’s future.
