Real Madrid winger Rodrygo Goes had initially set his sights on joining Arsenal this summer, but the potential transfer has now collapsed due to financial disagreements, according to recent reports.
ESPN Brazil reveals that the 24-year-old Brazilian international is determined to leave the Spanish giants with the Premier League being his preferred destination. However, his wage expectations have proven too steep for the North London club to accommodate.
Despite the setback with Arsenal, Rodrygo's Premier League ambitions remain alive with both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur expressing strong interest in securing his signature. This development keeps the door open for the talented winger to still realize his dream of playing in England's top flight.
Real Madrid's summer transfer activities have created a situation necessitating player departures. The club has already welcomed several new signings including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras, and 17-year-old Franco Mastantuono. With their senior squad now numbering 25 players, the Spanish giants are under pressure to offload several names to maintain balance.
For Arsenal, this represents another setback in their summer recruitment plans, having reportedly withdrawn from negotiations for the Brazilian star. The Gunners are now believed to be targeting alternative options within the Premier League to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Rodrygo, who joined Real Madrid in 2019 from Santos, has established himself as a valuable player for the Spanish club, contributing significantly to their domestic and European successes. His potential departure would mark a significant shift in Madrid's attacking options.
