One of the leading clubs in the English Premier League — London’s Arsenal team is showing great interest in acquiring Brazilian winger Rodrigo Goes, who is currently playing for Spain's Real Madrid. This was reported by a reliable source — The Athletic.
According to the publication, Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta has personally monitored Rodrigo and considers him a strategically important transfer for the team. Arteta sees Rodrigo as the "key figure" missing in Arsenal's attack, particularly on the left wing. He believes that the Brazilian star has the potential to elevate the Gunners' offense to a new level in the upcoming season.
It is noted that Real Madrid is considering the possibility of selling Rodrigo, but they will not undervalue him — the Madrid club is demanding 100 million euros for the 23-year-old player.
This season, Rodrigo has participated in a total of 50 matches for Real, scoring 13 goals and providing 10 assists. His contract is valid until 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his estimated market value is 90 million euros.
In this case, Arsenal's main task remains to bring Real to the negotiating table and convince Rodrigo to join the new project. If the transfer goes through, another high-level star could emerge in the ranks of the Gunners.
Fans and football experts emphasize that this potential transfer could cause a significant stir in European football.
