Real Madrid Confidencial Gyokeres about to derail Rodrygo's transfer: Arsenal won't sign both
Gyokeres could be a problem for Madrid in the Rodrygo deal, and it is becoming complicated for Arsenal
Viktor Gyokeres is one of the trending names in the current world of soccer, being a forward with a lot of expectation and renown. He has caught the attention of Europe's top teams, with one in particular being Arsenal. However, this creates a significant problem for Real Madrid, since interest in Rodrygo could decrease because of the Gunners.
It should be remembered that the investment for the Swedish forward could be extremely high and this could lead to giving up on the Brazilian's transfer. With this in mind, it could be a "loss" of more than €80 million that Real Madrid could've desired.
However, nothing is concrete yet and this could fall through at any moment due to Sporting's demands. Nevertheless, with Rodrygo's current performance, they might reconsider that deal and consider the Swedish player instead.
Gyokeres in the spotlight
The player from the Portuguese side has been a true "killer" if we look directly at the statistics. Until the end, he fought for the Golden Boot against Kylian Mbappé even though the points deficit was 1.5. He scored 54 goals and provided 13 assists during the season, which positioned the forward as the goal-scoring machine that he is.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo had a rather lackluster performance this season, with just 24 goal contributions in total over 51 matches. The Brazilian has shown at times that he is one of the best in the world and with a very broad market. For this reason, the fact that the Swede stands in the way of one of the strongest candidates for his signing is a major setback.
For now, Florentino Pérez knows that he has to have the necessary patience to prevent the situation from getting out of control. For this reason, he will look for a way to finalize a possible departure of the number 11 as soon as the Club World Cup ends.
Nothing is lost yet
Rodrygo is still on the edge and it seems that after the tournament a decision will be made. Nevertheless, this time will be valuable for Arsenal, which will have a scenario to decide what suits it best. Although it will surely be one of the most exciting stories of this transfer window.
