Arsenal and Chelsea on High Alert as Star Signals Real Madrid Exit

Rodrygo transfer saga heats up, with Arsenal and Chelsea on alert as the Brazilian star seeks to leave Real Madrid.

The Rodrygo transfer saga has rocked European football as the Brazilian winger tells Real Madrid that he wants to leave, attracting a lot of interest from Chelsea and Arsenal.

Rodrygo, who has been a key figure for Real Madrid since his arrival in 2018, has grown increasingly frustrated with his role in the team. Despite contributing 13 goals and 10 assists in 50 appearances this season, the 24-year-old has found himself overshadowed by the likes of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe. Reports from Marca suggest that the Brazilian winger is unhappy with the media attention surrounding his teammates, which has led to a deterioration in his relationship with the squad.

With Rodrygo now adamant about leaving, Arsenal and Chelsea are among the clubs keeping a close eye on his situation. Earlier this month, Arsenal reportedly made contact with Real Madrid to inquire about a potential summer deal. The Spanish club is expected to demand a fee of €100 million (£85m) for the winger, making him one of the most expensive targets in the upcoming transfer window.

Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester City have also been linked with a move for Rodrygo, ensuring that Real Madrid will have no shortage of suitors if they decide to cash in. With Carlo Ancelotti set to leave for the Brazil national team, incoming manager Xabi Alonso will have the final say on Rodrygo’s future.

As the transfer window approaches, Arsenal and Chelsea must weigh their options carefully. Both clubs are looking to strengthen their attacking options, and Rodrygo’s availability presents a unique opportunity. However, with Real Madrid reportedly tired of the player’s attitude, a move away from the Spanish capital seems increasingly likely.
