Arsenal handed major lift in Rodrygo chase

By on December 5, 2025

Rodrygo real madrid

Arsenal have received a major boost in their pursuit of Rodrygo Goes, after a report from The Athletic claimed that Real Madrid are ready to let him leave.

The Brazilian winger has faced regular transfer talk in recent months. His struggle for steady minutes has raised questions about his long-term future at the club.

Rodrygo has played 16 matches under Xabi Alonso this season across all competitions. But he has only managed 446 minutes during this period, which shows how limited his role has become.

The new report states that Madrid will now consider offers for him. The forward lost his untouchable status last summer, but he chose to stay at the Bernabeu.

This meant interest from Premier League sides did not progress into any formal bids. However, it appears that could change as early as January with Madrid now open to offers.

Rodrygo is now on a run of 30 matches without scoring, which equals the longest goalless spell for a Madrid attacker. This record matches the poor run once held by Mariano Diaz.

Boost for Arsenal’s long-term interest

This update will be welcomed by Arsenal, who have followed Rodrygo for some time. The Gunners are now in a stronger position if they choose to make a move.

Arsenal have been tracking wide attackers who can offer more speed, creativity, and depth across the front positions. Rodrygo fits this profile and brings experience at the highest level.

The winger may now be more open to a Premier League switch. Madrid’s stance is also far softer than it was in the past, which gives Arsenal more room to negotiate.

Rodrygo’s profile and possible fee

Rodrygo is 24 years old and has built a strong trophy record during his time in Spain. His list of honours includes two Champions League titles and three La Liga crowns.

He has also won a Copa del Rey and two UEFA Super Cups, among other medals.

Transfermarkt currently values him at £70 million. This figure may be reduced due to Madrid’s willingness to cash-in.

A lower fee could make the deal more realistic for any club ready to place a firm offer on the table.

Arsenal now have a clearer opening. If they choose to act, they can step up their interest in a player who has long been admired by many at the club.
