Arsenal are now in pole position to sign the Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, with sources close to the deal (@imkikosuarez) suggesting a 90% chance of completion. The Brazilian forward is expected to leave the Bernabéu this summer, and Mikel Arteta’s project has reportedly already won the player over.
“Rodrygo to Arsenal = 90%. Rodrygo going somewhere because Arsenal messed up = 10%”
It’s that simple.
Rodrygo reportedly loves the Arsenal project. He’s given the green light. The only thing that could derail the deal? Arsenal slipping up in the final stages. The Gunners must now wrap it up: no hesitation, no half-measures.
Suarez says: “He already likes the project and as long as your club does everything, he goes. That’s what I was told and what I trust.”
Arsenal’s pursuit of Rodrygo reaches critical stage
The 23-year-old has grown increasingly open to a Premier League move in recent months, especially after the arrivals of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick at Real Madrid. With playing time at risk and Euro 2024 stars reshaping the Madrid squad, Rodrygo is now pushing for a new challenge.
Arsenal’s sporting project, led by Mikel Arteta and Berta, has apparently struck the right chord with the player. Trusted insiders report that Rodrygo already “likes the project” and is simply waiting for Arsenal to complete the final stages of the deal.
Why Arsenal must not hesitate to close the deal
Although the Gunners hold the advantage, any delay could open the door to rival clubs. The reported 10% risk mentioned by sources refers specifically to Arsenal making a last-minute mistake, not to the player’s interest. In other words, this is Arsenal’s deal to lose.
From a tactical standpoint, Rodrygo would add pace, directness, and Champions League experience to the wide areas potentially rotating with Gabriel Martinelli. His versatility and pedigree would be a major boost ahead of a demanding season across four competitions.
What it means for Arsenal
This is a defining transfer window for Arteta. Landing a €100m-level winger like Rodrygo would not only elevate the squad’s attacking threat, but also send a strong signal across Europe. The structure is in place. The player is ready. Now it’s up to Arsenal to finish the job and avoid that 10% collapse that could turn admiration into regret.
