Arsenal has submitted a formal opening offer to sign Brazilian winger Rodrygo this summer from Real Madrid, according to Signings.
Rodrygo has been sidelined by Xabi Alonso in the midst of dazzling transfer rumors, with the attacker on the couch in front of the La Liga -opener against Osasuna.
Alonso wiped it as a tactical call, but if the same decision is made twice in a row, the inevitable eyebrows occurs.
Arsenal, on the other hand, was one of the clubs that this summer the Brazilian attacker Fourten. They seemed to have cooled their interest after the arrivals of Noni Madueke from Chelsea and now Ebereechi Eze from Crystal Palace.
It seems that the Gunners have now ruled their interest in the 24-year-old, such as Signingsreference Central defenseclaims that the North -London club has submitted a formal opening offer to sign Rodrygo this summer.
The Spanish outlet reports that Arsenal has shown a strong wish to acquire the winger by submitting an offer to almost £ 67 million, although it falls under the £ 78 million valuation of Madrid.
While Manchester City was also in the race for the Brazilian international, the report adds that conversations have cooled, which has now brought Arsenal to the steering place to secure his signature if they agree with Madrid.
Formal offer
Arsenal got a huge blow in the midweek when reports revealed that Kai Havertz sustained a knee injury that could keep him aside for a long period pending the results of reviews.
They were further hit when Talisman Bukayo Saka was withdrawn against Leeds United after another hamstring injury. Skipper Martin Odegaard was also forced with a shoulder problem.
Respond to the injuries, said Mikel Arteta, ‘Bukayo had to get off when he sprinted with a defender. He felt a hamstring, another [than last season].
We had already lost Kai [Havertz]who is a huge player. And now Bukayo and Martin – that’s why the team must be big. ‘
Although Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Madueke Give Arteta depth, neither of them bears the threat and top experience that Rodrygo has.
The Brazilian has shown his capacities on the largest European stages, and his versatility could offer Arteta more dynamics in his game plan.
With the report stating that Madrid is sticking to a higher valuation of £ 78 million to punish his departure, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal will increase their bid to sign Rodrygo.
If Arsenal succeeds in buying Rodrygo, it is likely that one of their current attackers will have to leave to make room. Martinelli is perhaps the most likely in the midst of reported interest from Saudi Arabia.
