Arsenal to walk away from Rodrygo transfer plans despite weeks of contact with his camp, according to reports in Spain.
Cadena Ser now claim the Gunners are “moving away” from the Real Madrid forward, despite previously considering a €90m bid.
Sources close to the club admit the deal is “becoming very complicated” — and Arsenal’s attention has officially shifted.
Madueke & Gyökeres Plans Leave No Room for Rodrygo
Mikel Arteta has changed direction. Arsenal are advancing on two other big targets — Chelsea’s Noni Madueke and Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres.
With Madueke reportedly close to joining and negotiations ongoing with Sporting for Gyökeres, Arsenal now view their forward line as complete — leaving no space for Rodrygo.

Liverpool Now Leading the Race
With the Arsenal door firmly shut, Rodrygo’s most likely destination appears to be Liverpool.
The Reds are said to hold concrete interest and could return with an official approach now that the Gunners are out of the race. No other serious Premier League suitor has stepped up — yet.
