Overview
- Arsenal have submitted a formal offer of around €50m (£43–44m) for Brahim Díaz, with Real Madrid assessing the proposal, according to multiple reports citing Fichajes.
- Díaz’s profile has risen with four goals at the Africa Cup of Nations, a run that has reinforced Arsenal’s belief he can play a larger role in London.
- Some reports indicate Real Madrid may have a new long-term agreement lined up for Díaz through 2030, a development that could strengthen the club’s bargaining position.
- Separate reporting says Arsenal have also put forward an offer near €60m for Rodrygo, while Al-Hilal are understood to be competing with a similar fee and higher wages.
- Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano says Rodrygo will not leave in January and is expected to remain at Real Madrid until at least the summer.
