Arsenal has identified Rodrygo as a prime target for their summer transfer strategy, signaling a potential shift in the club’s approach to bolstering their squad. Rodrygo’s current deal with Real Madrid runs until 2026. This week, he’ll meet with new manager Xabi Alonso to discuss his long-term future at the club. Arsenal’s brass is intent on improving the squad. Bringing the Brazilian winger into the mix is a big step and an important part of their plan.
The North London club are certainly looking to upgrade their midfield. They’re planning to intensify their pursuit of Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi after the international window. Arsenal remain keen on both Rodrygo and Zubimendi. This forward-looking commitment underscores their desire to assemble the most competitive roster possible in advance of next season.
Strategic Targets for Arsenal
Arsenal’s new sporting director, Andrea Berta, is personally four months into soaking up information on which players are the best bets at every position. Mikel Arteta, the head coach, is set to work closely with Berta to identify which possible deals are in the best interests of the club’s future. In addition to Rodrygo, Arsenal is interested in discovering gems like Nico Williams from Athletic Club, Leroy Sane and Morgan Rogers.
Nico Williams of Real Sociedad has emerged as a major target by Arsenal. Athletic Club president Jon Uriate has said that he wants to keep him.
“I believe we have a winning and interesting project for everyone, and Nico is part of that project, just like many other players.” – Jon Uriate
Uriate echoed the necessity of retaining central figures within the organization to build on the team’s competitive success.
“The project becomes easier if we keep our players – and I believe Nico and the rest of the squad have a very exciting year ahead.” – Jon Uriate
Long-Believed Targets
Arsenal has already been connected to a few of those long-believed targets. These are the new golden boys Rodrygo, Santi Zubimendi, Alexander Isak, Viktor Gyokeres or Benjamin Sesko. Together, these drei players embody a different kind of attacking threat that would make a major improvement for Arsenal’s attack and is sorely needed.
The ambition displayed by Arsenal’s management reflects their determination to compete at the highest levels in both domestic and European competitions. With transfer talk heating up, Arteta and Berta will have to make some tough calls. Their decisions will affect the team’s success for what should be an exciting season to come.
Upcoming Developments
The ever popular, often frustrating summer transfer window is just a few weeks away. For Arsenal fans, how much more activity we’ll see, particularly after this international break. The club’s long-term, competitive approach to landing the best talents—including academy players—shows us they know what they’re trying to build.
At the same time, Neto’s return to Bournemouth after his season-long deal will free up room for new blood. From next season, Sky Sports will show 80 percent of all Premier League matches televised. Furthermore, the timing of this deal arguably puts even more pressure on Arsenal to build a competitive team that can compete for the top honors.
