Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is one name on Andrea Berta’s watchlist at Arsenal this summer.
Rodrygo has had a tough time at Real Madrid since Xabi Alonso took charge.
The Brazilian’s new manager has used him sparingly, opting to select other players during Los Blancos’ Club World Cup campaign.
Right now, Berta is working on other transfers, but it’s understood that Arsenal are still keeping an eye on Rodrygo’s movements.
Rodrygo issues Real Madrid transfer clarity
As Arsenal prepare to turn their attention to selling, with as many as six signings set to arrive before pre-season, additional targets will have to wait until later in the window.
There is a problem as Rodrygo is now wanted by Liverpool, who are eager to bolster their attack following the incredible acquisition of Florian Wirtz.
Spanish outlet AS have shared an update on the winger’s situation in Madrid, revealing the player’s stance on a possible move this summer.
In the instance that Real Madrid list Rodrygo for sale, AS report that the 24-year-old ‘won’t object’ to a departure, if that is the club’s wish.
If Alonso is eager to part ways with the Brazil international, then, in return, Rodrygo wishes to ‘decide his fate’.
AS note Arsenal’s interest in the player, who is valued by Real Madrid at around €100m (£87m), but when discussing what Rodrygo might consider, Manchester City are mentioned.
It’s claimed that while the Gunners ‘remain’ in the mix, the North Londoners are thought to be ‘a bit further behind’ at present.
Liverpool ready to push for Rodrygo
While Arsenal prepare to get their finances in order following a fast start to the month on the transfer front, Liverpool are ready to re-enter the fold after recharging.
The Spanish report claims that Liverpool have identified Rodrygo as ‘the chosen one’ to bolster Arne Slot’s left-wing options.
Concerningly, from Arsenal’s point of view, Liverpool are reported to be ready to do ‘everything in their power’ to complete the forward’s transfer.
If Arsenal wish to sign Rodrygo, now is the time to make their intentions clear, as Liverpool plot to go in hot for the Brazilian.
