"Nothing like that." Romano assesses Arsenal's interest in Rodrygo

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has been linked with London club Arsenal for some time now, and renowned insider Fabrizio Romano has provided fresh insights into the situation.

Details: Romano acknowledged that Arsenal do indeed admire Rodrygo, but signing him is not a realistic prospect at the moment, as Real are only willing to let the player go if he himself asks for a move. So far, Rodrygo has shown no such desire.

Quote: "As for Rodrygo, as far as I know, Arsenal's stance is absolutely clear. Arsenal value and appreciate Rodrygo, and this summer the club wants to strengthen not only up front but also with a quality winger. Yes, they like the player, they're well aware of his situation, but there are no negotiations with Real.

Neither with the club nor with the player himself. Not even at an initial stage. The only way to sign Rodrygo is if he personally goes to the club and says: I want to leave. But as far as I know, he hasn't said anything like that to Real. Arsenal would be delighted to sign Rodrygo, but at this stage, it's nothing concrete," Romano said on his YouTube channel.
