Arsenal have tabled a stunning offer to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid, according to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes.
The Gunners are looking to add quality to their attacking line and have the Brazilian firmly in their sights as they seek to retain their place as one of world football’s leading sides.
Top of the Premier League and top of the Champions League league phase, things couldn’t be going much better for Mikel Arteta’s side who look like the real deal in terms of challenging for major honours this term.
One final sprinkle of stardust could be enough to get them over the line, something that the North Londoners are determined to do.
Arsenal Make Offer For Rodrygo

Arsenal have formalised their interest in signing Rodrygo, as per reports from Fichajes. Described as ‘a superstar’, Real Madrid have received two offers worth close to €60 million (£56million) for the Brazilian winger.
Those offers have come from the Gunners and Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
Earning £350,000 a week, Al Hilal are prepared to offer Rodrygo an improved salary which his representatives are considering carefully.
However, Arsenal are preparing to give the 24-year-old “consistent playing time, a leading role, and the opportunity to spearhead the attack.”
Rodrygo Facing Huge Decision On Future

With significant transfer intrested, Rodrygo has a massive decision to make regarding his future. The Brazilian has found life hard under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid this term, having fallen down the pecking order. However, after starting the last three matches before the mid-season break, he is now firmly back in contention at the Bernabeu.
Discussing Rodrygo’s status in the squad, Alonso told the media on January 3: “Rodrygo can play in any of the three attacking positions. He finished the season in great form. Three or four good matches and we had a good feeling about him. We need him, just like everyone else, to fill the void left by Kylian, whose absence remains to be seen for how long.”
If Rodrygo can prove himself as a key player with Real Madrid, it would be difficult to see him choosing to leave one of the biggest clubs on the planet. But with competition from Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Gonzalo Garcia and Franco Mustantuono, it remains to be seen how much football he’ll get between now and the end of the season.
With a decision expected in the summer, Arsenal will be watching with bated breath ahead of a summer move.
