Real Madrid Confidencial Arsenal and three other top-level clubs call Rodrygo, his transfer is getting closer
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City from the Premier League, as well as Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga, want to sign the Brazilian
The scenario has changed for Rodrygo. The Brazilian, who started the Club World Cup hoping to secure a spot in Xabi Alonso's new project, has seen his prominence fade game after game. Just 88 minutes in four matches, a figure that speaks for itself (88 min).
He started as a starter in the tournament debut, but since then he has lost importance. Just a few scattered minutes in another match and, in the remaining ones, no sign of him on the field.
The feeling is clear: he doesn't count. In soccer, when you don't count, rumors quickly appear.
The Premier is lurking
It's not just any rumor. From England, clubs are already making moves and several Premier League clubs are closely following his situation. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal has been the first to raise its hand.
At Emirates, they see Rodrygo as the game-changing winger that's missing to make the final leap. His youth, his experience on big nights, and his versatile profile fit perfectly with the Basque coach's approach.
But they're not alone, since Chelsea also has him on its radar. At Stamford Bridge, they don't trust their current options on the wing and believe the Brazilian could provide an immediate boost. Even Manchester City, which has been considering signing him for some time, isn't ruling it out if a window of opportunity opens.
Bayern joins in as well
Watch out for Germany. Bayern Munich, always alert to market situations, sees Rodrygo as an interesting alternative after unsuccessfully exploring the options of Nico Williams and Luis Díaz. The Bavarian club is looking for firepower on the left after the confirmed departure of Sané, and the Brazilian could fit perfectly in that role.
For now, Real Madrid hasn't made a statement. Nor has Rodrygo, who's keeping silent while he plays for his future in every training session. But the truth is that the scenario looks farther from Bernabéu than closer.
The lack of minutes, the arrival of new names, and the interest from half of Europe could mark the beginning of the end of his time as a Madridist footballer. The summer transfer window promises to be busy and Rodrygo could be one of the main protagonists.
