Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has emerged as a major summer target for Arsenal and Manchester City in the closing transfer weeks.
The Brazilian forward, valued at €100million (£86m), is attracting strong interest as clubs look to strengthen attacking options before the window shuts.
Arsenal have already completed several signings, but another forward addition remains possible if one of their current attackers leaves.

Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli currently occupy Arsenal’s left-wing role, yet Rodrygo’s versatility makes him an appealing option for Mikel Arteta.
Manchester City have also joined the race, with Pep Guardiola reportedly a huge admirer of the 24-year-old’s skill, pace, and attacking intelligence.
City’s interest has grown amid potential departures, including Jack Grealish to Everton and young talents James McAtee and Savinho being linked with moves.
Tottenham are in talks with City over Savinho, while Nottingham Forest, Everton, and West Ham are chasing McAtee before the deadline.
Rodrygo’s ability to play across the frontline suits Guardiola’s fluid attacking system, increasing the appeal of a high-profile Premier League switch.
Real Madrid’s Stance On Transfer
Real Madrid are open to letting Rodrygo leave if he chooses, despite his integral role in recent successes at the Bernabéu.
Andrea Berta is monitoring the situation closely, aiming to finalise any deal that benefits Arsenal’s long-term squad balance and offensive firepower.
With three weeks remaining in the market, both Arsenal and City face an intense battle to secure the Brazilian’s signature, reports Football London.
Rodrygo’s decision could spark one of the summer’s most dramatic final-week transfer sagas in European football.
