Rodrygo Sparks Premier League Bidding War Amid Uncertain Real Madrid Future

Rodrygo Sparks Premier League Bidding War Amid Uncertain Real Madrid Future
Rodrygo Goes has become a major topic in the 2025 summer transfer market as questions arise over his role under new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso. Despite starting in Madrid's opening Club World Cup match, he was benched in subsequent games, intensifying rumors about a possible exit following the team’s defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal is reportedly leading the chase, having shown interest as early as May and initiating early talks to secure the Brazilian winger. Real Madrid is believed to have set a price tag of €90 million, and Arsenal appears prepared to meet it. Meanwhile, Liverpool has also entered the race, especially with the potential departure of Luis Díaz, whose sale could fund a serious move for Rodrygo.

Liverpool’s growing interest aligns with their active transfer window, having already signed several new talents. If Díaz is sold — with Bayern Munich or Barcelona among the interested clubs — Liverpool is expected to escalate their pursuit of Rodrygo. Arsenal, on the other hand, is also close to signing Chelsea's Noni Madueke but still considers Rodrygo a top target to strengthen their attacking options.

Although Rodrygo remains under a long-term contract at Real Madrid, increased competition in the squad, particularly with the arrival of Endrick, has cast doubt on his playing time. Should Madrid decide to sell, the transfer could rank among the most high-profile of the summer. For Rodrygo, a move to the Premier League could offer regular minutes and a fresh challenge, while staying in Madrid keeps him in contention for major European trophies.
