And we have another update about Rodrygo. The news just doesn’t stop coming from all corners, but we do filter out the most reliable information, and this one is slightly significant.
Rodrygo’s situation is well known. He does not want to leave, but the outlook does not promise him a long-term future at Real Madrid. The club will not stand in his way if a considerable offer arrives. By considerable, I mean starting at €100 million, as revealed a few weeks ago.
The Brazilian has attracted the strongest interest from the Premier League: Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal are the biggest names in the race, with the last being the most interested.
But a new update suggests Arsenal may be pulling back.
Real Madrid handed €100 million transfer blow by Arsenal
Arsenal have seen their funds dwindle after several major signings this summer. Adding Rodrygo on top of that would mean another significant drain on their budget.
Moreover, according to Diario AS, the North London club have shifted their focus from Rodrygo to two new targets: Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon.
This shift in priority has further distanced Rodrygo from the Emirates and could mark the final nail in the coffin for any chance of his move to London.
What this means for Rodrygo and Real Madrid is that the Brazilian’s departure prospects are gradually fading. Tottenham’s interest seems legitimate, but the player is not keen on the move.
Liverpool’s plan appears less concrete based on the current reports. Arsenal seemed the most serious, but that too is now waning.
For Real Madrid, this could have been a major opportunity to recoup close to €90 million after negotiations, money that could have gone toward signing a midfielder or another defender. But the lack of solid interest is keeping that possibility out of reach.
