Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Arsenal have maintained contact with Rodrygo’s representatives and remain interested in signing him.
- Rodrygo suffered an ACL tear in March and has returned to running on grass as his rehabilitation continues.
- Real Madrid’s medical team are cautious and have pencilled a provisional return around January 2027 while the player believes he could come back sooner.
- Rodrygo is under contract with Real Madrid until 2028 which would shape any negotiation and Arsenal say they would act in the January window or earlier if his recovery accelerates.
- Arsenal reshaped their left flank over the summer by signing Christos Tzolis and letting key wide players leave which increases the club’s incentive to add a high-quality left-sided attacker next winter.
