If Rodrygo really becomes available this summer Then it would be angry that Arsenal did not investigate at least the possibility of signing Brazil.
I saw the proposals in Spain to push Arsenal the hardest to land a winged player from Real Madrid, but that’s not something I heard at this stage.
But you would think that the club will have to consider the opportunity, whether Real Madrid should be given to know that it will be open to the sale of a 24-year-old.
That would be one of those market opportunities that unexpectedly appears to have to look, especially if you are already on the market for a new wide striker.
Rodryg’s record speaks for himself. He is a great player and does not turn 25 by the beginning of next year. He is the correct profile for which Arsenal wants to go.
The question I see with this potential move is the price.
If Madrid decides to let go of RodrygaAnd as much as I am aware that it has not been decided yet, they would ask for big money for a wing player. You would expect at least some £ 80m.
And in the summer where Arsenal has to do a awful significant job, such costs simply feel unlikely for me.
They are already ready to commit a shade of more than £ 50m to sign Martina Zubimandi, and whoever the new striker is, at the end of signing, it will cost quite more than that.
So, this is already more than £ 100m spent on two players with potentially new wings, a goalkeeper and a defender who will still be signed.
Because of this, I feel that Rodrygo could be a step in too far with regard to the fee that Madrid would require.
You could get Nico Williams – a player we know we would like to bring Mikel Arteta to Arsenal – for around £ 30m less. It is a huge amount and although Williams would command a big salary, the same could be said about Rodryga.
So we will have to wait and see how things are progressing in the next few weeks.
This would certainly be an exciting signature, but I suppose it should need this summer departure to make it possible.
