Liverpool have joined Arsenal as the two clubs who can 'grant' Real Madrid winger Rodrygo what he wants from a transfer this summer, according to reports.

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has reportedly already made a decision over the Rodrygo amid links to Arsenal. Arsenal have so far made three signings this summer, in the form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. A fourth signing is imminent, with Noni Madueke expected to be announced in a deal from Chelsea soon.

Rodrygo’s future at Real Madrid is attracting growing interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with uncertainty surrounding his role at the Bernabeu. PSG are keeping a close eye on the Brazilian winger, while Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are also tracking the situation.

“Chelsea wanted another 10 or second striker who could play out wide or at nine, but Arsenal want an Eberechi Eze who plays behind the striker, not like Joao Pedro, and that’s probably why Arsenal didn’t enter the race.”

The 26-year-old midfielder is Arsenal's second signing of the summer transfer window under new sporting director Andrea Berta.
