Arsenal and Man United want La Liga forward with 21 goal contributions this season

Posted by

Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with the move for Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes. 

A report from Defensa Central (h/t Fichajes) claims that the 23-year-old is the target for the two Premier League giants, and they could look to make their move at the end of the season.

Rodrygo has been an important player for Real Madrid, scoring 13 goals and picking up eight assists in all competitions this season.

It will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit are prepared to sanction his departure. Selling the Brazilian would certainly weaken Real Madrid’s attack and they will need to bring in a top-class replacement. They have been linked with the move for Kylian Mbappé who is expected to join the club on a free transfer.

Rodrygo will struggle for regular game time if Mbappé moves to Real Madrid, and it would make sense for him to join another club in order to play regularly. The striker is valued by Los Blancos at €120 million.

Rodrygo would improve Arsenal, Man United

Arsenal need a quality striker who can chip in with goals and assists consistently. Gabriel Jesus has been quite underwhelming this season. The 23 year-old Real Madrid striker would be a quality, long-term investment for Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Manchester United need attacking reinforcements as well. Rodrygo could share the goalscoring burden with summer signing Rasmus Hojlund and improve Manchester United going forward.

The Brazilian is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well and he could prove to be an asset for the Red Devils. He has all the tools to develop into a world class player with the right guidance and regular football in the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
