Arsenal are one of the top contenders to win the Champions League and Premier League this season, but they are believed to be interested in signing a left winger in post-30 Leandro Trossard next year and there are several good options on the market.
Mark Brus reported this that Real Madrid striker Rodrygo Goes is seen as a long-term target by Arsenal, who are expected to potentially try to sign the Brazil international next summer as he continues to struggle for minutes in Spain.
He was given a rare start against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, ending a 32-match scoring drought. It was his fifth goal against them in his career and Pep Guardiola recognized the striker’s quality. called him ‘incredible’.
City themselves are expected to be keen on Rodrygo if he wants to leave the Bernabeu, but the toughest competition Arsenal could face could be from a known enemy in Tottenham Hotspur because they want to replace Son Heung-min for the longer term.
Xavi Simons, who was signed in the role of the South Korean, has fared better as a number 10, so that means the Lilywhites could re-enter the transfer market for a left winger, but whether Rodrygo will join them without European football is doubtful.
Rodrygo’s future remains open
Rodrygo Goes, who is rumored to have fallen out of favor under Xabi Alonso, delivered his best performance in months this season and also voiced his support for the coach in his post-match interview following Real Madrid’s loss to Manchester City.
Although he has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in recent months, the player’s body language and interviews have suggested he is willing to fight for a role in the Spanish capital itself.
That said, if Alonso is sacked at some point this season, Madrid’s new coach will likely rely on Rodrygo and a starring role with the La Liga giants could force the 24-year-old to continue his trade with them rather than move to England.
Nevertheless, if Rodrygo’s transfer were to materialize, Los Blancos will not let him leave on the cheap. The winner of the 2022 and 2024 Champions League is valued at £53 million on Transfermarkt but could tolerate a higher asking price than that amount.
