Offers for Rodrygo keep coming in: as many as five teams are bidding for the Brazilian

The saga currently starring Rodrygo Goes still doesn't have an agreed ending. Although the '11' verdeamarelo's entourage states that the footballer's goal is to stay and compete for a starting spot, rumors of possible offers keep coming in. That's why the Valdebebas offices are paying close attention to the next moves of the European football elite.

The expectation caused around the Osasco striker in recent times has led several Premier League clubs to show interest in signing him this summer. The firstteam to approach that possibility is Arsenal, in search of new forwards to avoid the shortage of strikers it has suffered during the 24/25 campaign.

Shortly after the gunner club, its main rivals in the Premier League entered the rumors. Except for Manchester City, the candidacies of Tottenham, Chelsea, and Liverpool remain hanging in the air with their respective differences. So far, Liverpool has appeared to be the best option for the South American footballer, given the departures planned and executed by the Merseyside leaders this summer.

In addition to those four Premier League clubs, PSG would also have made an appearance in the "Rodrygo case".  The hypothetical departure of Bradley Barcola, one of Luis Enrique's most recognized second-line strikers, would make room for Rodrygo Goes to take a spot on the rouge-et-bleu team's bench.

Calm before the storm?

This summer's transfer market still hasn't ended, but Rodrygo's options are decreasing as time goes by. The executives led by Florentino Pérez won't stand in the way of any attempt to leave by the Brazilian striker, as long as the transfer to facilitate that move meets their financial demands.

The €100 million ($100 million) asking price from the Valdebebas offices would be one of the main obstacles to the operation. Thus, the interested clubs use other strategies to try to sign Rodrygo: Tottenham sent an offer of €60 million ($60 million) plus bonuses that hasn't been very successful.

Something similar is happening with Liverpool. The red club is now more focused on signing Alexander Isak, Newcastle United's Swedish center forward, for an estimated price of €150 million ($150 million). Those intentions mean that Rodrygo Goes remains a top-level "plan B," just as is the case with Arsenal.

Only Chelseawould have shown the necessary interest to make Rodrygo a guaranteed starter in its best starting eleven. There still aren't any clear moves that would prompt a reaction in the Valdebebas offices, but the merengue sporting management isn't losing track of those interested in signing this forward.
