An insight into the kind of fee being demanded by the brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid to part with Rodrygo this summer has on Wednesday been provided.
This comes amid fresh confirmation that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal remain keenly interested in the Brazilian’s signature.
Chatter surrounding a potential Rodrygo departure from Spain’s capital has of course gone somewhat quite over the last couple of weeks.
After previous claims that the 24-year-old was actively seeking out a new challenge, Rodrygo has appeared a player reinvigorated in training, fully committed to the cause at Real Madrid.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then one suitor have not been deterred by the frontman’s sudden change of heart.
As per a report from transfer insider Ben Jacobs:
‘Arsenal hold a genuine interest in Rodrygo and have held exploratory talks on the player side dating back to May. Understand Real Madrid want around €90m.’
It now remains to be seen if the board at The Emirates are willing to meet the lofty financial demands laid out by their counterparts in Madrid.
