Arsenal will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old Brazilian international Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Rodrygo Goes is the subject of interest from Arsenal. The Gunners are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the 24-year-old Real Madrid forward has emerged as a target for the North London outfit.

The Premier League giants are ready to launch an offensive to sign the South American attacker by submitting a bid worth €70 million. Meanwhile, Arsenal will offer the Real Madrid attacker a five-year contract that will run until 2030. Further clarification by a report in Just Arsenal has revealed that first, “Arsena’’s recruitment team want to gauge the player’s willingness to move to the Premier League”.

Rodrygo Goes and his Real Madrid situation

Rodrygo Goes was among the most highly-rated prospects in the world when he joined Real Madrid from Santos in July 2019. While the 24-year-old has blown hot and cold in the last half a dozen years, he has shown flashes of brilliance while being a regular in the final third.

The 2024/25 season has not been fulfilling for the Brazilian international, as he has managed only 14 goals and 11 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions. However, the player remains sought after in the market, with several high-profile clubs keen on signing him. Arsenal will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

London calling?

Arsenal’s interest in Rodrygo Goes makes sense. The Gunners are scouring the market for a versatile wide attacker this summer amid the growing over-dependence on Bukayo Saka in the final third. So, the Real Madrid forward has emerged as a viable target for Arsenal due to his ability to play across the offensive unit.

With the former Santos wonderkid failing to find a regular spot in the starting lineup under Xabi Alonso, a summer move may be on the cards. Meanwhile, Arsenal will soon submit a bid worth €70 million to sign him from Real Madrid. They have also prepared a five-year contract for the player, which should reportedly have lucrative wages.

However, “before submitting a formal bid, Arsenal’s recruitment team want to gauge the player’s willingness to move to the Premier League”. Meanwhile, it is unclear if the North London outfit can convince Real Madrid with a bid worth €70 million.
