Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes this summer.
A report from Defensa Central has claimed that Arsenal and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes. Los Blancos value the Brazilian international at €120 million.
Rodrygo is regarded as one of the finest young attackers in European football right now, and signing him would represent a major coup for the two clubs. He has been linked with PSG recently. The 23-year-old Brazilian is versatile enough to operate on the flanks as well as a centre forward. He will add goals and creativity to the Arsenal and Manchester United attacks.
The Real Madrid star has 13 goals and eight assists across all competitions this season. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal or Manchester United decide to come forward with an offer to sign him at the end of the season. He has a contract with Real Madrid until the summer of 2028, and the Spanish club will not be too keen on letting him leave.
Rodrygo would be a quality addition
It is no secret that Arsenal need a quality attacker at their disposal. Gabriel Jesus has been quite underwhelming this season, and he has not been able to score goals consistently. Rodrygo could be an upgrade on his compatriot.
Similarly, Manchester United need more depth in the attack as well. The Red Devils have been overly dependent on Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund. They need more quality, and Rodrygo could prove to be a quality long-term investment for them.
However, the 23-year-old is already operating at a high level, and he will want to join clubs capable of winning major trophies. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can convince the player to join them especially if they fail to finish in the top four and secure Champions League qualification.
The reported €120 million valuation is unlikely to make the move simple either. Real Madrid will demand a premium if they are forced to sell the player, and it will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Manchester United are willing to break the bank for the Brazilian.
