FootballTransfers understands that Arsenal have held positive talks with Real Madrid over a fee for Rodrygo as the Gunners seek an alternative after missing out on Nico Williams.

Rodrygo has still not made a decision on whether he wants to leave Real Madrid, but Arsenal scout Paulo Xavier has spoken to the Brazilian's father. He maintains a close relationship with the family after previously bringing Rodrygo to Spain.

Arsenal are ready to make Rodrygo one of their top earners if he gives the green light for a transfer.
