Arsenal are having difficulty completing their forward line this summer.
Uncertainty surrounds the future of Eberechi Eze, who could decide to spend another season at Crystal Palace. Arsenal have not indicated that they wish to spend the midfielder’s full £68m release clause.
And now, alternative target Rodrygo could stay at Real Madrid.
The Brazilian has been widely linked with an exit from the Bernabeu. Arsenal and Liverpool are said to be interested.
However, Spanish publication COPE report that Rodrygo could be persuaded to sign a new contract with the Spanish giants.
He is reportedly keen to force his way into Xabi Alonso’s plans.
