According to reports, Rodrygo’s recent poor performances at Real Madrid, including being substituted at halftime in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, missing the match against Celta Vigo, and sitting out training before the Mallorca game due to a minor injury, have put him in a difficult position. The 24-year-old has not scored since netting in the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Atletico Madrid in early March, managing only one goal in his last 22 appearances for Real. This slump has left Rodrygo frustrated but has also reignited interest from English clubs.

Manchester City had previously contacted Rodrygo last summer after selling Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, but he rejected the offer as his contract runs until 2028. However, the current situation might force him to reconsider. Rodrygo himself has praised Manchester City, calling them the best team in the world with the most beautiful style of play.

Arsenal, looking to strengthen their attack, have also considered Rodrygo alongside names like Alexander Isak, Benjamin Sesko, and Nico Williams. Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino has praised Rodrygo’s technical abilities and versatility on the pitch.

Liverpool, despite extending Mohamed Salah’s contract and Luis Diaz’s desire to stay, may show interest in Rodrygo due to the potential departure of Darwin Nunez and uncertainties surrounding Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa. Manchester United and Chelsea, depending on their Champions League qualification, could also enter the race. The possible exit of Alejandro Garnacho from United and the sale of Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea have increased these clubs’ need for attacking reinforcements.

Real Madrid will demand at least €100 million for Rodrygo, while his release clause stands at €1 billion. With interest from top English clubs, the upcoming summer transfer window promises to be exciting for Rodrygo and Real Madrid.
