According to reports from Spain, Rodrygo is assessing his options at Real Madrid ahead of the January transfer window. The 24-year-old Brazilian forward is thought to be dissatisfied with his limited playing time under Xabi Alonso and is considering leaving the Bernabéu, with Arsenal and Tottenham keeping a close eye on the situation.
Rodrygo’s career in the Spanish city has been distinguished by glimpses of brilliance, as well as long periods of inconsistency and rivalry for minutes. So far this season, he has played just 327 minutes in 11 games, highlighting his failure to secure a regular starting place. Rodrygo’s chances have only gotten worse in recent weeks, as Arda Güler and Franco Mastantuono have emerged as Alonso’s favorite choices.

The forward’s issues are not exclusive to club football. With the 2026 World Cup approaching, Rodrygo is motivated to play on a regular basis in order to keep his place on Brazil’s national squad. For him, a mid-season transfer could be a logical move to maintain his international goals while finding a new project that fits his playing style.
Arsenal’s market opportunities
Arsenal is reported to be one of the clubs paying close attention to Rodrygo’s position. Mikel Arteta’s team is looking for more depth and unpredictability on the wings, and the Brazilian’s combination of pace, flare, and technical skill fits perfectly into the club’s attacking strategy.
According to sources close to the matter, Arsenal sees Rodrygo as a player who can bring both creativity and European experience to a young, maturing team. The London club has stated that if Madrid opens talks in January, they will investigate the viability of a trade.
