Rodrygo to Arsenal transfer latest – Real Madrid talks, £86m decision, Liverpool interest

they thought it was over but it’s only just beginning because arsenal have decided they’re not done yet not in this transfer window not in this race not in this ambition to finally take the premier league title away from manchester city because after chasing the likes of viktor gyokeres and leading the charge with four strong signings in this summer window including noni madueke from chelsea martin zubimendi from sociedad kepa from real madrid and norgaard from brentford arsenal fans now find themselves dreaming of something even bigger something that would shake the emirates something that would light up north london in ways never seen before because reports coming out now are saying the impossible the unthinkable the unimaginable rodrygo goes the brazilian superstar the winger who plays for the biggest club in the world real madrid is now seriously being linked with a blockbuster transfer to arsenal football club

yes rodrygo the same player who has played with vinicius jr who has scored in champions league semi finals who has danced in the bernabeu under the lights who has been trusted by carlo ancelotti and now apparently has a future that’s hanging in the balance is being lined up by arsenal as their next galactico signing because this is no longer the arsenal of ten years ago this is the arsenal of mikel arteta edu gaspar and josh kroenke who have now decided they will not just be top four contenders or second place finishers they want to be champions and that means bringing in players who can win matches on their own

rodrygo has been a name whispered for weeks in the corridors of north london but it has now become something louder something more real after fabrizio romano the king of transfers himself came out and confirmed that talks are happening even though they are at an early stage and the final decision has not yet been made but he dropped the bomb that rodrygo will meet with real madrid again in the coming days to decide his future and if he wants to leave he will not come cheap we are talking about at least £86million and that’s just to start the negotiation

arsenal are watching closely because they know rodrygo would not just be another signing he would be a statement to the rest of europe that arsenal are now operating in the elite tier not just in ambition but in action imagine rodrygo in the same team as saka and martinelli jesus and madueke imagine what that does to any defence in europe it would be pace flair trickery samba style from the right to the left unstoppable attacks that would leave even pep guardiola scratching his bald head on the sideline because what can you do when a team has that much firepower

but there is a catch because they are not the only ones watching rodrygo closely reports say that liverpool are also interested and we know how liverpool operates they don’t come for a player unless they are serious and with mo salah ageing and maybe on his last season at anfield liverpool are also looking for their next big right winger someone who can carry the team forward for the next five years and rodrygo fits that bill perfectly and that’s where things get intense because now it’s not just arsenal chasing him it’s a direct premier league rival who also has the money and prestige to convince a superstar to join them

but this is where arsenal believe they have the edge because rodrygo wants to play regular football and at real madrid with mbappe coming in and vinicius jr already untouchable the brazilian winger knows his minutes will be reduced and he doesn’t want to be just a bench player anymore he wants to be the main man and arsenal can offer that they can offer champions league football they can offer a starting role they can offer him the keys to the emirates where he can shine and express himself and lead arsenal to trophies and they believe with arteta’s style of play and the young squad already assembled rodrygo would thrive in london

behind the scenes sources say arsenal have already mapped out a financial plan to push for rodrygo if he gives the green light and that includes potentially selling fringe players to raise funds because £86m is not pocket change but if you want to sign one of the best young wingers in the world you have to be ready to pay and arsenal are ready they’ve done it before for declan rice for kai havertz for ben white they are not scared of spending anymore and they are confident they can convince rodrygo this is the perfect next step in his career

and for rodrygo himself this is a massive decision he has already won everything with madrid he has played with the best he has scored in finals he has lifted trophies but what he has never done is be the face of a project he has never been the undisputed star in a system built around him and that’s what arsenal are offering a fresh chapter a new challenge in the most competitive league in the world and if he accepts it he becomes the final piece in arteta’s masterpiece a team full of young warriors ready to conquer europe

it’s not just about the money or the fame it’s about legacy and at madrid he will always be in vinicius’s shadow but at arsenal he becomes the king he becomes the one the kids sing about he becomes the player that defines this arsenal generation the way henry defined the invincibles and that is something no player can ignore especially not one as hungry and ambitious as rodrygo who wants to be remembered who wants to make history

already the excitement is building among the fans social media is going wild with the idea of rodrygo in red and white the brazilian flag next to the cannon shirts with his name being printed in advance photoshop edits going viral videos of his best goals being replayed over and over with dramatic music fans dreaming of what it would be like to see him glide past defenders in the emirates under the lights chanting his name because they know if arsenal pull this off they’re not just signing a player they’re changing the future of the club

but time is ticking and decisions must be made because the transfer window doesn’t wait and liverpool are lurking they’re ready to jump if arsenal hesitate and real madrid are waiting for the player to decide because they don’t want to force him out but they also won’t stand in his way if he chooses to leave and so the ball is now in rodrygo’s court and everyone’s waiting to see what he chooses

some say he’ll stay and fight others say he’s already decided to leave but one thing is sure the moment rodrygo makes up his mind the world will know and the club that gets him will be getting a gem a 24 year old with experience beyond his years with goals in the biggest games with the mentality of a champion and the hunger of a young lion and if that club turns out to be arsenal then buckle up because next season might just be the season everything changes

and for arteta this could be the move that defines his era more than any other he has built a solid team but now he needs magic someone who can unlock any defence someone who brings fear to opponents someone who delivers when it matters and rodrygo is that player if the deal happens fans will look back on this summer as the moment arsenal went from title challengers to title favourites and that’s why the kroenkes are watching closely that’s why edu is working overtime that’s why arteta is making late night calls because this is not just about one player this is about sending a message to everyone we are arsenal and we are coming for everything

so now everyone waits waiting for rodrygo to speak to madrid waiting for arsenal to make the next move waiting for romano to drop the here we go and when that happens the internet will break because this is not just another signing this is the stuff of dreams and in football dreams do come true and when they do they come dressed in red and white holding scarves in the emirates as the crowd roars the name rodrygo
