Arsenal Cool on Rodrygo Pursuit as Gilberto Silva Calls for Re‑Think

Limited minutes under Xabi Alonso sustain transfer chatter even as the Brazilian remains contracted to Real Madrid until 2028.

Overview

  • Football Insider, via Just Arsenal, reports Arsenal are no longer as enthusiastic about signing Rodrygo and do not view his profile as a current squad need.
  • Gilberto Silva told talkSPORT that Arsenal should consider reviving interest, praising Rodrygo’s versatility but noting competition for starting places.
  • Rodrygo has started only three matches this season and is without a goal in 13 LaLiga and Champions League appearances under Xabi Alonso.
  • Arsenal explored a move in the summer but turned to other wide options, with reports citing arrivals such as Noni Madueke and the capture of Eberechi Eze.
  • TalkSPORT notes Madrid valued Rodrygo around €90m in June and says Saudi clubs retain interest, while links to Chelsea and Tottenham are played down.
