Mikel Arteta wants Rodrygo at Arsenal. the Gunners view him as a top attacking target. They have long admired the versatile Brazilian player. Fabrizio Romano called him a “dream target” previously. Reports suggest Rodrygo prefers a Premier League move. Arsenal is his “absolute priority” if he leaves Spain.

However, Arsenal face stiff competition. PSG are also in discussions with Rodrygo’s representatives. Luis Enrique wants him in Paris. Manchester City are monitoring the situation closely. Moreover, CaughtOffside claims Liverpool are also interested.

Liverpool may see Rodrygo as a Darwin Núñez replacement. Núñez has attracted interest from Napoli. Real Madrid are open to selling but aren’t actively seeking a replacement. They are confident in their current squad.

The Athletic reports they are open to a permanent deal if their price is met. Defensa Central suggests PSG has an advantage. Real Madrid might consider a swap involving Vitinha.

Al-Nassr has offered Rodrygo a lucrative deal. Cristiano Ronaldo encouraged the offer. However, Rodrygo rejected it. He wants to stay in Europe for his Brazil national team chances.

Felipe Melo advised Rodrygo to stay at Real Madrid. This would help his national team prospects. However, his lack of playing time could push him to leave.

Real Madrid will face PSG in the Club World Cup semi-final soon. Rodrygo’s future developments should speed up after the tournament. Arsenal are also pursuing Viktor Gyökeres as Arteta wants to increase his offensive depth going into the 2025/26 season.

The Gunners still chase their top summer targets

Arsenal are facing a new twist in their bid to sign Viktor Gyökeres this summer and this deal looks to be very advanced at the moment. Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze could also be on a move to N5 in the ongoing summer window.

But Rodrygo would be the marquee signing that would steal the limelight.

Author’s take

Arsenal need to act fast and decisively! Rodrygo would be a fantastic addition to Arteta’s squad. However, the competition is fierce. Arsenal’s pull, combined with the promise of regular football, should be enough. Securing Rodrygo and Gyökeres would signal serious title intent.
