Arsenal could be forced to spend more than £80million to secure the services of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo this summer. The Gunners are on the hunt for attacking talent after faltering in front of goal at times last season.

Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso insists no decision has been made regarding Rodrygo ’s future, despite persistent transfer links to Arsenal. The Brazilian’s time in the Spanish capital has been called into question at various points this summer due to his lack of involvement at the Club World Cup.

Rodrygo’s reported frustrations with Real Madrid hinge on a tactical demand which could define his next destination.
