Local media confirms “magical” player on Liverpool radar would prefer to join Arsenal
Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes has been linked with a move away from the Spanish club in recent weeks.
Several clubs are keen on signing the Brazilian International, and the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool are keeping tabs on his situation as well.
Major boost for Arsenal in transfer race
According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Arsenal would be willing to pay around €90 million to sign the player. The report further claims that Liverpool are interested in Rodrygo as well, but if the player was given a choice, he could prefer to join Arsenal.
Rodrygo has struggled for regular gametime at Real Madrid, and it seems that he might not be an indispensable asset for Xabi Alonso. It would be ideal for him to move on in search of regular playing time.
The move to the Premier League could be ideal for him. He would get to play for some of the biggest clubs in the world in England. Arsenal have been fighting for trophies regularly, and it is no surprise that he is attracted to the idea of playing for them.
Rodrygo has been described as a “magical” player by his teammates.
Liverpool need Rodrygo Goes
On the other hand, Liverpool have won the Premier League title last season and they are one of the biggest clubs in the world. They will be hoping to win the UEFA Champions League soon, and they need top-quality players. Darwin Nunez is expected to leave the club this summer after an underwhelming season in which he scored just seven goals. Liverpool need a reliable striker to replace him, and the Brazilian could be the ideal alternative.
He will get regular time at Liverpool, and he will get to play alongside world-class players like Mohamed Salah. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the player to join them instead of moving to Arsenal.
Meanwhile, the Gunners need more depth in the attacking unit. Gabriel Jesus has been underwhelming, and Kai Havertz has not been able to score consistently. Rodrygo could prove to be an upgrade, and he could solve their goal-scoring problems.
