According to the Spanish media Ass, Arsenal hopes to sign a winger this summer. After Nico approaches joining Barcelona, the Gunners turn their sights to Rodrigo.
reported that although Arsenal understood from the beginning that it was difficult to sign Rodrigo, players could still become key figures in the transfer market. Arteta currently has Martinelli and Trosad on the left winger, but the former is performing in moderation, while the latter is seeking a salary increase in contracts.
Arsenal believes that some players need to be sold this summer, but will also strengthen the lineup and will not destroy the team's salary structure. The Gunners had previously been interested in Nico Williams, but after testing, they believed that the players' salaries were too high (there was reports that they had an annual salary of 8 million yuan after tax in Barcelona), so the team did not participate in the bidding.
And this will also become a major obstacle for Arsenal to buy Rodrigo. The Brazilian winger currently has an annual salary of 7 million to 8 million euros after tax at Real Madrid, which is a medium level in Real Madrid and a maximum salary for the Gunners. In addition, the transfer fee will be very high, which may exceed the player De's turnover price of 90 million euros.
Rodrigo is still focusing on Real Madrid and Club World Cup. He is trying to convince coach Alonso that the transfer drama has not really started yet, but the players are destined to be the focus of this summer.
