Despite the rumors linking Arsenal to Rodrygo, Paul Robinson told Football Insider he doesn’t think the Gunners are a big enough pull for the Brazilian.
“It’s not an attractive proposition for Rodrygo playing at Real Madrid to then go to a team like Arsenal,” Robinson said. Yes, they’re competing on every front, on every level, but are they one of the European giants?
“They’re an attractive proposition for a certain level of player, bracket of player, but I think he’s in the bracket above. If Arsenal can push the bar out and get a player like that, it would be a real statement, but I don’t think they’re in the ballpark for him.”
Sports Zone recently reported that Rodrygo is no longer considered untouchable by Real Madrid’s leadership. His representatives have already spoken with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, and there have also been conversations with PSG, though the French club is approaching things more cautiously.
According to a previous report from Diario AS journalist Eduardo Burgos, Arsenal are one of the clubs showing strong interest in Rodrygo. The Gunners are closely monitoring his situation heading into the summer, but so far, discussions have remained informal and there hasn’t been any real progress.
