Arsenal view Rodrygo as the perfect summer target for their winger position. The Brazilian winger will hold talks with Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso upon returning from the Club World Cup to clarify his future. While the Gunners remain unsure of his willingness to leave, Real Madrid are ready to sell him for around €90 million.
Rodrygo is seen by Arsenal’s hierarchy as a dream target for the left wing, though he can also excel on the right—a position he often played at Real Madrid. However, he started the last three Club World Cup matches off the bench, and his playing time has further decreased since Alonso’s appointment. Rodrygo has made 51 appearances this season, contributing 14 goals and 9 assists across all competitions.
Elsewhere, Chelsea winger Noni Madueke is another option for Arsenal on the right wing, though the Gunners have not yet made an offer to the player or Chelsea. Blues manager Enzo Maresca still values Madueke, but Chelsea may consider selling him for over £45 million plus additional clauses—especially if they can sign another forward.
Crystal Palace’s core player Eberechi Eze is a separate transfer target for Arsenal, unrelated to the above positions, though he can also operate as a left winger.
