Rodrygo continues to be linked with an exit from Real Madrid this summer, with Arsenal continuing to track the winger. Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera and Viktor Gyokeres have been signed by the Gunners already this summer but Andrea Berta may look to strengthen further, with another addition in the forward line a possibility. The likes of Rodrygo and Eberechi Eze are of interest, football.london understands, but it’s unclear at this stage if a move will happen with three weeks of the window remaining. Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are Mikel Arteta’s options on the…

Arsenal’s pursuit of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo appears to be faltering, with Manchester City now emerging as favourites to secure the Brazilian’s signature. The 24-year-old attacker, long considered a “dream target” for Mikel Arteta, has been on the Gunners’ radar throughout the summer as the club sought to strengthen its attacking options. However, Arsenal are now believed to be cooling their interest due to the significant financial demands involved. Real Madrid have set an asking price of around €100 million (£86.7m), while Rodrygo’s wage expectations are reportedly in the region of £250,000 to £350,000 per week, figures the North London…

Had the Athletic Bilbao-Arsenal clash come a few months earlier, Nico Williams’ performance would have been a major talking point. But the fixture arrived when it did, and most Gooners could not help but agree on one thing, failing to sign Nico Williams was probably for the best. This summer, Williams was tipped to finally take the leap and leave Athletic for one of Europe’s elite. Arsenal, the winger’s long-time admirers, were thought to be battling Barcelona and Bayern Munich for his signature. At one stage, Barcelona looked to have taken the lead in the race, but Arsenal remained in…

Viktor Gyokeres was the name on everyone’s lips before Arsenal faced Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, but afterwards it was Martin Zubimendi. The Spain midfielder was the star of the show as Arsenal finished their pre-season with a 3-0 win at Emirates Stadium. Zubimendi barely put a foot wrong all game, even coolly slotting the winning penalty in the pre-arranged penalty shootout. It was the first time in pre-season that the 26-year-old had started in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, a combination that bodes well for Old Trafford on Sunday. The trio have quickly formed an excellent understanding and…

On Sunday, it was back to Carrington as Ruben Amorim contemplates his line-up for the opening day.

Manchester United are pulling out all the stops to ensure they’re in peak form for their Premier League curtain-raiser against Arsenal, with plans afoot for a behind-closed-doors friendly aimed at giving two key players some much-needed game time. United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been absent from recent pre-season friendlies as he battles back to full fitness. The squad are also yet to play alongside new recruit Benjamin Sesko, who was officially unveiled as a Red Devil over the weekend following his transfer from RB Leipzig. As per The Times, United are considering hosting a friendly at their Carrington training ground…

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is hopeful Eberechi Eze will still be at the club when the summer transfer window closes but has refused to rule out an exit amid interest from Arsenal. Eze, whose £68million release clause expires on August 15, remains a target for the Gunners having held talks with the player’s representatives earlier in the summer. However, amid reports of an agreement between the two clubs, Standard Sport understands Arsenal may need to make space in the squad before finalising any deal for the England international. Along with Eze, Palace captain Marc Guehi has been linked with…

The uncertainty surrounding Rodrygo’s role at Real Madrid has become one of the headline narratives of this summer’s transfer window, with the Brazilian forward considering the possibility of pursuing a new chapter away from the Santiago Bernabeu. Once seen as a long-term fixture in Los Blancos’ attack, the 24-year-old now finds himself in a more limited role under Xabi Alonso, as competition for attacking places intensifies at the club. Interest in Rodrygo is building rapidly across Europe, particularly in the Premier League. Sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside that Liverpool are closely tracking his situation and view…

The Brazil international could make only 22 starts in LaLiga under Carlo Ancelotti last season and played just 92 minutes for Madrid at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup under Alonso. With Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior…
