Arsenal handed boost in signing Rodrygo?

Arsenal have been handed a potential boost in signing Real Madrid forward Rodrygo during the summer transfer window.

The Brazil international has been a key player for the La Liga giants, but his future has become a discussing point in recent weeks.

Since the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Madrid's manager, Rodrygo has fallen down the selection order at the capital outfit.

He was a regular on the bench at the Club World Cup and his situation may not improve during the forthcoming La Liga season.

Rodrygo faces more competition with Franco Mastantuono set to join the club. The teenager could start regularly on the right wing.

Amidst this, Fabrizio Romano claims that the 24-year-old is unsure over his next move and could be open to pursuing a new challenge.

Arsenal have already held preliminary talks with the player's agents and would be the front-runners if he decides to move on.

Madrid are set to demand at least £76m for his services.
