The Spanish giants are reportedly willing to consider offers for the 24-year-old as they reshape their squad under manager Xabi Alonso.

Sources close to the club suggest that Madrid’s decision is influenced by their recent high-profile arrivals in attack, which could limit Rodrygo’s playing time next season. Both Rodrygo’s father and his agent have expressed frustration over his role, and Alonso is not expected to block a move if a suitable offer is received.

Arsenal Ready to Pounce, Record Bid Expected

Arsenal have been monitoring Rodrygo’s situation closely and are said to be “on red alert” as Madrid prepares for a potential sale. The Gunners are reportedly preparing a bid in the region of £70–£77 million, which would represent a club-record outlay.

Mikel Arteta’s side is in the market for a left-sided attacker, and Rodrygo’s versatility and Champions League pedigree make him an attractive target.

Reports indicate Arsenal’s interest is serious, with the club ready to move quickly should Madrid formally put Rodrygo on the market. The deal could also be partially funded by Arsenal’s own outgoing transfers, as the club looks to balance its books while strengthening the squad for another Premier League title challenge.

Xabi Alonso’s Stance and Transfer Outlook

Xabi Alonso, who took over as Real Madrid manager this summer, is reportedly open to Rodrygo’s departure if the club receives an offer matching their valuation, believed to be at least £70 million.

While Rodrygo has been an important player for Madrid, contributing in key matches domestically and in Europe, the club’s evolving attacking options and the player’s desire for a more prominent role have paved the way for a possible exit.

As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Arsenal to see if they can finalize a deal for Rodrygo, potentially making him one of the marquee signings of the summer.
