Once seemed to be sure to break up with the Bernabeu, Rodrygo made Real Madrid internal waves when he declared he did not want to play for the Royal team anymore, even refused to play in the El Clasico match against Barcelona in May.
The deep cause of the feeling of being overshadowed by superstars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. The appearance of this trio made Rodrygo's role significantly decreased in the end of the season, when he often had to sit on the bench under Carlo Ancelotti.

However, the situation has somewhat changed since Xabi Alonso came to power. The former Spanish player is said to be very impressed with the performance of Rodrygo during the training sessions, making the possibility of his departure become not as sure as before.
Even so, Arsenal still followed all developments around the 24 -year -old. Under the new dynasty, Rodrygo has not received any guarantee of a long -term role, which makes him consider the ability to find new stops. In addition to Arsenal, Manchester City is also considered to be interested, making Rodrygo want to expand the choice instead of just towards the Emirates Stadium.
Currently, Rodrygo is fighting with Real Madrid at FIFA Club World Cup. He created a goal in the 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal in the opening match, but was later pushed to the bench in a 3-1 victory over Pachuca, the match marking Xabi Alonso's first victory as the Real Madrid head coach.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal really loves Rodrygo but will only act if the player officially announced his desire to leave Real Madrid.
Arsenal's urgent need is understandable, because the lack of damage in the attack is the factor that makes them short of breath in the Premier League championship last season. Kai Havertz, who is not a true striker, is the best striker of the team at the tournament with only 9 goals.
In addition to Rodrygo, coach Mikel Arteta also brought Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) to the sight. But this deal seemed to be closed when the Spanish player was about to join Barcelona. Meanwhile, the goal of Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) is on his way to Man United after the “Red Devils” send a second proposal. Another name is Noni Madueke (Chelsea) was also mentioned in the shortened list of Arsenal.
