Chance of Liverpool hijacking Arsenal deal is getting bigger

Arsenal have expressed strong interest in signing Rodrygo during the current transfer window and are reportedly in discussions to bring the Brazilian winger to the Emirates Stadium.

Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid appears uncertain, with the arrival of new manager Xabi Alonso seemingly altering his position within the squad. The winger no longer appears to be central to the manager’s plans, which has opened the door for a potential move away.

Arsenal have identified Rodrygo as a player who could significantly strengthen their attacking options. The Gunners have been monitoring him since the end of last season and believe that his style of play and technical qualities would enhance their offensive dynamics. Reports suggest that Rodrygo is also open to the idea of relocating to London, further encouraging Arsenal’s pursuit.

Liverpool Enters the Race

Despite Arsenal’s early interest, a move has yet to materialise. As the Gunners delay their approach, Liverpool has emerged as serious contenders for the player’s signature. The Merseyside club are preparing to sell Luis Diaz, and according to The Sun, should that sale go through, Liverpool intends to make a strong push to sign Rodrygo.

The potential addition of Rodrygo would significantly boost Liverpool’s squad, particularly in terms of pace and creativity on the wings. Their growing interest could complicate Arsenal’s pursuit, especially if the Gunners do not act swiftly to secure the deal.

Financial Constraints May Prove Challenging

While Rodrygo would be a valuable acquisition, the financial demands of the transfer could present a challenge. The Brazilian winger is unlikely to be available for a modest fee, and any move would likely require a substantial financial commitment. Arsenal may struggle to meet those demands, depending on their remaining transfer budget and priorities.

Rodrygo remains a top talent with proven experience at the highest level. Should either club manage to secure his signature, he would offer a significant upgrade in attacking quality. For Arsenal, the opportunity to sign him still exists, but only if decisive action is taken in the coming weeks.
