Real Madrid Accepts €60M Arsenal Offer for Rodrygo

According to reports, Spanish giants Real Madrid are ready to allow star forward Rodrygo to join Arsenal. The Merengues have accepted an offer worth €60 million plus add-ons for the Brazilian player.

Real Madrid are reportedly "convinced" that Rodrygo is not an integral part of their long-term project. The 24-year-old joined the club from Santos in 2019 for a reported €45 million fee, but has struggled to cement a regular starting spot. This season, under new manager Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo has made just three starts out of his 13 appearances.

The report suggests that Arsenal have tabled an offer in the range of €60 million, with an additional €20 million in attainable add-ons. Real Madrid's coaching staff believes that the squad's stability and Alonso's authority would be reinforced by Rodrygo's departure, as his frustration with the lack of playing time has created "unnecessary tension" within the dressing room.

The potential move would be a significant boost for Arsenal, who are currently leading the Premier League and sitting second in the UEFA Champions League. Rodrygo's addition would help the Gunners consolidate their strong start to the season and potentially challenge for major titles.
