Gabriel Magalhaes has admitted that he wants Real Madrid star Rodrygo to join him at Arsenal. He believes that the forward is a phenomenal player.
Speaking on Podpah Podcast recently, Gabriel stated that he was aware of the Rodrygo to Arsenal rumors and admitted that if it were up to him, he would sign the 24-year-old. He said (via METRO):
Rodrygo’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu hangs in the balance after Xabi Alonso was appointed the club’s new manager. However, Alonso has spoken about the Brazilian in glowing terms and claimed that the club needs him.
Chelsea are also keeping tabs on Rodrygo as they look to bolster their squad. However, they would need to persuade the forward to leave the Santiago Bernabeu as he reportedly wants to fight for his place under Alonso.
Emmanuel Petit spoke to Genting Casino in 2024 and urged Mikel Arteta to sign Rodrygo. He claimed that the Brazilian was ideal for the Gunners and highly underrated at the Santiago Bernabeu. Petit said (via GOAL):
Real Madrid have reportedly slapped a €100 million price tag on the Brazilian. However, the Spanish giants are open to selling the winger if he wants to leave this summer.
