Real Madrid Set €90m Price Tag as Arsenal Eye Summer Move for Star Winger

Real Madrid are reportedly open to selling forward Rodrygo this summer, provided their €90 million (£76.7 million) valuation is met—potentially paving the way for Arsenal to make a formal approach.

Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabéu has come under question amid growing uncertainty about his playing time next season, especially with increased competition in Real Madrid’s attacking line.

According to Spanish outlet Cadena Ser, the Brazilian international is exploring options in the Premier League, and Arsenal’s interest in the player is described as genuine.

Mikel Arteta is keen to reinforce Arsenal’s attacking options ahead of the 2025/26 season, particularly in wide areas. While Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams has been identified as the Gunners’ top target, the Spanish winger appears likely to join Barcelona, prompting Arsenal to shift focus to alternative options like Rodrygo.

Real Madrid are said to be “clear” about their stance if Arsenal make contact, with the fee potentially helping to fund the Spanish club’s pursuit of a new midfielder. Though no official bid has been made, the conditions for a transfer appear to be in place should Arsenal decide to move forward.

Rodrygo, who has established himself as a technically gifted and versatile attacker, would bring Champions League-winning experience and creativity to Arsenal’s front line. With multiple Premier League clubs also monitoring the situation, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining the 23-year-old’s next destination.
