OFFICIALLY DONE: Arsenal finally sign 20-year-old superstar from PSG as the star is currently undergoing medical to join the Gunners
Arsenal are set to go ‘all out’ to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo, with a £59m bid planned, according to Fichajes.net.
The Gunners are expecting a busy summer transfer window of incomings and outgoings, with the attacking department considered to be among Mikel Arteta’s top priorities after a disappointing campaign in which they reached the Champions League semi-finals while finishing as runners-up in the Premier League for a third consecutive season.
Now Arsenal have identified Los Blancos’ Brazilian star Rodrygo as a prime target, and are ready to make their move with a bid.
Arsenal Ready Rodrygo Bid
Gunners players have spoken to him about move
Rodrygo’s place in the squad at the Bernabeu has come under threat as he is behind the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr as the main stars, while Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler are pushing for more minutes in the upcoming campaign.
New manager Xabi Alonso is expected to hold talks with Rodrygo, who has been described as a ‘superstar’, about his role in the squad next season, but Arsenal are now ready to go ‘all out’ to secure his signature and are preparing a £59m bid to get him through the doors in north London.
It’s also said that some Arsenal players have spoken to Rodrygo directly about the possible move. Brazilian national team stars Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli already play at Arsenal, and are likely to have a relationship with the Real Madrid forward, although they’re not named as the ones who have spoken with him.
GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that Rodrygo would like to earn at least £250,000-a-week if he were to leave the Spanish capital, and it’s highly unlikely that Arsenal would be the only club showing an interest.
Arsenal are currently finalising their first summer transfer of the window, with goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga set to join on a permanent deal from Chelsea to compete with David Raya as the number one in a £5m deal.
They are also currently in advanced talks with RB Leipzig over a move for striker Benjamin Sesko, as Arteta looks to bolster the squad ahead of pre-season.
