Real Madrid’s Rodrygo remains at the center of a transfer saga involving Premier League clubs Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City as the 2025 summer window progresses. Rodrygo, a Brazilian attacker known for his versatility and significant contributions last season with 14 goals and 11 assists, is reportedly unhappy with limited playing time under Real Madrid’s manager Xabi Alonso, who appears to see him as a backup option rather than a key starter. This situation has triggered increased interest from top English clubs looking to strengthen their squads ahead of the new season.
Reports indicate Real Madrid has decided to cash in on Rodrygo rather than let him stagnate on the bench, with his representatives holding talks with Liverpool and Manchester City, both clubs vying to sign the attacker. Liverpool’s interest intensified after their loss of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, and despite targeting other forwards like Alexander Isak, they view Rodrygo as a “special” talent suitable for their Champions League ambitions.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is also strongly linked with Rodrygo, seen as an ideal upgrade on their left wing to replace Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal’s pursuit appears serious, with discussions ongoing and potential offers being prepared, including the possibility of loan deals or permanent transfers. Real Madrid has reportedly reduced Rodrygo’s asking price, making a move to the Premier League more feasible for interested clubs. However, Arsenal faces competition from Liverpool and Manchester City, who have the financial muscle to meet Real Madrid’s demands.
The transfer situation is dynamic: Rodrygo has expressed preference for clubs that compete in the Champions League, and his future depends on playing opportunities and club ambitions. Arsenal’s managerial team needs reinforcements, especially on the left flank, which Rodrygo could fill immediately. Liverpool and Manchester City remain strong contenders for his signature, making this a key transfer saga to watch as the summer window nears closure.
