BID ACCEPTED: Arsenal’s eye-watering bid for Europe’s most wanted striker has been accepted as medical is scheduled to hold tomorrow
Arsenal are considering a summer move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo.
According to Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, the Gunners are showing interest in the Brazilian winger.
The North London side are keen on strengthening their frontline, especially the left wing and striker positions.
Mikel Arteta wants serious upgrades in attack after seeing his side struggle for goals in key moments this season.
Rodrygo is one of the names now being closely looked at by the club.
The 24-year-old is reportedly unhappy with his current role at Real Madrid and is open to a new challenge.
This situation has alerted several top clubs across Europe. Arsenal are one of the sides monitoring his availability.
He has had a solid season with 13 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for the Spanish giants.
Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta are said to be involved in early discussions ‘behind the scenes’.
They are working together on possible options to solve Arsenal’s attacking struggles ahead of next season.
Rodrygo’s quality and winning pedigree attracting Arsenal
The Brazil international is a proven winner at the highest level.
He has already lifted two UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
Rodrygo also has three La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and two UEFA Super Cups to his name.
That experience and winning mentality are seen as valuable qualities for a side looking to challenge for major trophies.
Although a deal would be difficult to complete, Arsenal are exploring every option available.
The winger is currently valued at around £84 million according to Transfermarkt , which could be a major hurdle in negotiations.
The Gunners, however, are ready to spend in order to fix their attack.
They believe Rodrygo can bring both quality and end product in the final third.
His ability to play across the front line gives Arteta more flexibility in his attacking setup.
Arsenal know they must be bold in the market if they want to compete with the best.
Rodrygo fits the profile of player the club wants to sign – young, talented, and experienced at the top level.
