Arsenal has contacted Rodrygo’s representatives to explore the personal terms he would be interested in should he join the club, as well as the possibility of persuading him to leave Real Madrid before the summer transfer window closes, according to sources from GIVEMESPORT.
The Gunners are determined to invest significantly in this transfer window, highlighted by their acquisition of Martin Zubimendi for nearly £60 million from Real Sociedad. Manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta are actively seeking additional players to bolster the squad.
While Noni Madueke is set to bring new creativity to Arsenal’s flanks following a £52 million deal with Chelsea, Rodrygo remains a target for the north London club, indicating plans for a high-profile signing.
Interest in Rodrygo’s Salary Expectations
Arsenal is keen to find out what salary Rodrygo might expect, as they assess the feasibility of a deal that would involve his move from Real Madrid. The Brazilian winger, who has been regarded as ‘world-class’ by former teammate Luka Modric, is seen as a potential opportunity due to limited starting opportunities under coach Xabi Alonso.
With three years remaining on his contract, Real Madrid holds a strong negotiating position, especially given a release clause reportedly exceeding £861 million. If an agreement can be reached regarding a transfer fee, Rodrygo would likely require a deal that places him among the highest earners at Arsenal.
Simultaneous Interest in Eberechi Eze
England International Considered Alongside Rodrygo
In addition to pursuing Rodrygo, Arsenal has also been exploring a move for Eberechi Eze, acknowledging that acquiring the Crystal Palace star might be simpler than negotiating with Real Madrid. Eze’s release clause of £68 million has reactivated, making him an attractive option should Arsenal choose to move quickly.
While the club is confident they can take their time to decide between Rodrygo and Eze, they are preparing for conversations that could lead to either player joining the Emirates Stadium this summer.
