Arsenal Ready to Splash €200M for Rodrygo — Real Madrid Waits for the Call
In what could become one of the blockbuster moves of the summer, Arsenal has reportedly placed a massive €200 million offer on the table to sign Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants, however, are not rushing any decision — the ball is in the Brazilian’s court.
According to Spanish journalist Rodra, who previously worked with Relevo, the Gunners are seriously pursuing the 23-year-old winger as Mikel Arteta looks to add firepower to his frontline.
🏁 Real Madrid Open to Talks — If Rodrygo Wants Out
While Florentino Pérez values Rodrygo at around €100 million, Madrid is open to negotiations if the player decides he wants to leave. Sources inside the club suggest that although Rodrygo is still considered a key part of the project, no one is untouchable — especially with an offer of this magnitude looming.
New head coach Xabi Alonso addressed the uncertainty during his unveiling:
“I still need to speak with Rodrygo, just like with other players. But yes, I’d like to count on him.”
📉 A Disappointing End to the Season
Rodrygo’s form has dipped significantly in the second half of the campaign. After being substituted during the Copa del Rey final, he hasn’t played a single minute since. Internally, this has raised questions about his mindset and place in the team hierarchy — especially with the recent arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the emergence of Endrick.
The stats don’t lie: while Rodrygo showed flashes of brilliance, he didn’t meet the expectations set for a starting forward at Real Madrid.
🇺🇸 Preseason Tour & International Impact
Rodrygo is expected to travel with the squad to the United States for the preseason tour, but there’s growing belief that what happens at the upcoming international tournaments, such as the Copa América, could heavily influence his decision.
Madrid is watching closely. A big summer sale could balance the books after recent major signings — and Rodrygo may just become the “galactic departure” of 2025.
