Rodrygo AGREES to leave Real Madrid and confirms which club he wants to join | OneFootball

It appears as though Rodrygo Goes has got no future at Real Madrid. The 24-year-old looks set to be squeezed out of the club as Xabi Alonso makes use of his other attacking options.

The new Madrid coach has got to keep Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler happy - and it’s not going to be easy to drop new hotshot Gonzalo Garcia either.

Rodrygo therefore could be the odd man out with Madrid ready to cash in this summer. Under contract until 2028, the Brazil international will command a hefty fee.

He has got no shortage of Premier League suitors - with Liverpool in the mix along with Arsenal and Manchester City.

Liverpool linked with Rodrygo since 2019

The Reds’ interest in Rodrygo is long-standing; he was admired while still a teenager back at Santos but opted to move to the Bernabeu rather than Anfield in 2019.

Now though he faces a Madrid crossroads. The club are determined to move on with other attackers and Rodrygo’s sale could bring in plenty of transfer income.

It was previously reported that Rodrygo had decided against joining Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr as he wanted to remain in Europe.

Now comes a report in AS that suggests Rodrygo has selected his next destination.

Rodrygo wants Arsenal move

The two-time Champions League winner is now said to be open to the idea of leaving Madrid so long as he has a big say in who he joins next. And it’s emerged that Arsenal are the team he is most willing to join in a crushing transfer blow to Liverpool.

The Gunners could sell Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard this summer - freeing up space for the versatile Rodrygo on either side of their attack.

“Rodrygo would not object to his departure as long as he can choose his destination, and that's where Arsenal shines,” the report reads.

Shouldn't Rodrygo choose Liverpool?

Quite where a move for the Brazilian to the Emirates leaves a deal for Noni Madueke is anyone’s guess.

A more sensible decision for Rodrygo would be to consider Liverpool. It’s well known that he’s got admirers in Liverpool’s higher echelons and his versatility is sure to buy him plenty of game time.
