Arsenal and Man City Lead Race for Rodrygo as Liverpool Lurks

Arsenal and Manchester City have emerged as the leading Premier League clubs interested in signing Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid. The 24-year-old Brazilian winger is reportedly considering his future after experiencing a significant reduction in playing time at Santiago Bernabéu, prompting interest from several top European teams.

Rodrygo’s role at Real Madrid has changed since Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti as head coach. While he has shown glimpses of form, he has yet to secure a regular starting spot and has struggled to make a significant impact in competitions like the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. This inconsistent playing time has fueled the Premier League interest.

This season, Rodrygo has only accumulated 769 minutes across 21 appearances in all competitions, highlighting his limited involvement. For Arsenal, the winger’s versatility is especially appealing as uncertainty surrounds the futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, making Rodrygo a potential solution for multiple attacking positions.

Manchester City is also reportedly keen, although their pursuit is complicated by other transfer plans, including the acquisition of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. It remains unclear how Rodrygo would fit into Pep Guardiola’s squad if no departures occur. Meanwhile, Liverpool sees him as a potential reinforcement for their wide positions amid uncertainty over Mohamed Salah’s future, though they are considered behind the other two clubs in the race.

Rodrygo is said to be prepared to seek a move after the 2025/26 season concludes. With Arsenal and Manchester City leading the chase, his transfer saga is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing stories in the upcoming transfer window, promising to attract significant attention across Europe.
