Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly monitoring the situation of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo. The Premier League clubs are waiting for the Brazilian international to indicate his desire to move to England. Both clubs are capable of financing a deal for the highly-rated attacker.
Arsenal and Tottenham monitor Rodrygo situation
TBR Football reports that both Arsenal and Tottenham are waiting for Rodrygo to signal his intent to leave Real Madrid. This hesitation comes before making any official offers for the player. The clubs want to ensure winger is genuinely interested in a move to the Premier League.
Arsenal are financially equipped to pursue Real Madrid winger, despite their significant spending on new players. Real Madrid are reportedly seeking £70m for the 24-year-old.
Tottenham also possess the financial resources to complete a deal following Heung-min Son’s move to LAFC.
Premier League clubs wary of triggering bidding war
Graeme Bailey, Chief Correspondent at TBR Football, highlighted the cautious approach from Arsenal and Tottenham. “Arsenal and Tottenham just want to make sure it’s what Rodrygo wants, and that they’re not going to be used to make bids and then the player says no. They’re smarter than that. I think the next week or so will be hugely telling for Rodrygo.”
The concern is that an unsuccessful bid could reveal their budget for a new winger. This could potentially complicate negotiations with alternative targets.
Liverpool also express interest in Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo
Liverpool are also reportedly interested in Rodrygo. The Anfield side are looking to replace Luis Diaz, who was sold to Bayern Munich for £65m. Richard Hughes, Director of Football at Anfield, is believed to be a keen admirer of the Real Madrid attacker. However, Arne Slot has also been impressed by Rio Ngumoha this summer.
The Brazilian international is highly regarded, with Jude Bellingham reportedly rating him above Kylian Mbappe. Several clubs are likely to compete for his signature should he become available.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining Rodrygo’s future. Premier League clubs Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham will be closely watching developments at Real Madrid.
