If Rodrygo does work this summer, it would be annoyed that Arsenal would at least explore the possibility of signing the Brazilian.
I've seen the most difficult advice for Arsenal to grab the winger from Real Madrid in Spain, but that's not what I've heard at this stage.
However, you would think the club will have to consider the opportunity if Real Madrid knew they would be willing to sell the 24-year-old.
This will be one of those unexpected market opportunities you have to consider, especially if you have entered a new market with a wide range of attackers.
Rodrygo's record talks to himself. He is an excellent player until he was 25 years old early next year. He is the exact profile that Arsenal likes.
Is Rodrygo transfer to Arsenal too expensive?
However, the problem I see from this potential move is the price tag.
If Madrid does decide to let Rodrigo go, as far as I know, not yet decided, then they will ask for a lot of money from the winger. At least you would expect to reach £80 million.
In a summer, Arsenal needs to do a lot of important business, and this kind of expenditure is unlikely to me.
They are already planning to bear the shadow of over £50m to sign Martin Zubimendi, and the signing of the new striker will be more than just the money.
So that has exceeded £100 million, spending new wingers, goalkeepers and defenders on both players, can still sign.
Arsenal can find people who are cheaper than Rodrygo
Given the fees Madrid needs, it just makes me feel that Rodrygo may be a step too far.
You can get Nico Williams (we know Mikel Arteta is willing to bring to Arsenal players), and the price is reduced by about £30 million. It was a huge amount, even if Williams ordered a big salary, Rodrigo could say the same.
So we have to wait and see how things can progress in the next few weeks.
Sure, it's an exciting signing, but my guess is that to make it possible, the summer emergence requires a high-profile summer departure.
