Rodrygo Breaks Silence Amid Arsenal Transfer Links as Real Madrid Star Faces Uncertain Future

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has subtly responded to growing speculation linking him with a move to Arsenal this summer, amid ongoing uncertainty about his role in the Spanish capital.

The Brazilian attacker has emerged as a potential target for the Gunners, who are looking to strengthen their forward line ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. While Mikel Arteta’s top priority remains securing a traditional centre-forward, Rodrygo’s versatility—able to play across the front three—makes him a highly attractive option.

Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid have placed a £77 million valuation on the 23-year-old, reflecting his status as a key asset, even as the club reshapes its attacking options with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the continued development of Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham.

Amid the speculation, Rodrygo appeared to send a subtle message through social media. In response to a post from his father and agent, Eric Goes, the forward commented with a short but telling three-word phrase: “Let’s keep working.” While not a direct reference to the transfer talk, the message suggests the player remains focused amid the noise.

Rodrygo has also previously spoken highly of Xabi Alonso, further fueling speculation that a move to the Premier League—whether to Arsenal or another suitor—could appeal to him should his position at Madrid come under threat.

As Arsenal explore multiple attacking targets, Rodrygo remains one to watch.
