A report in The Sun claims The Gunners are ready to make a move for the winger, with Los Blancos willing to let the Brazil international leave if the right deal arrives.
“Rodrygo, 24, has been linked with a switch to the Emirates this summer but The Gunners had been waiting to see if Madrid would be open to a sale.
“Now The Athletic claim that the Spanish giants, and their new manager Xabi Alonso, are willing to let Rodrygo leave if a suitable offer arrives.
“The Athletic report that Rodrygo’s father and agent, Eric Goes, has complained about the Brazilian’s lack of minutes behind superstar trio Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
“It’s said that those complaints haven’t been well received at Madrid.
“Arsenal are understood to have already held preliminary talks with Rodrygo’s representatives in recent weeks.”

Arsenal may have to sell to sign Real Madrid star
However, Mikel Arteta will have to sell a wide player if they are to sign Rodrygo, according to the same outlet.
Leandro Trossard is most likely to leave the club, but Gabriel Martinelli may also be an option for the exit door.
“SunSport understands Leandro Trossard is more likely to depart the Emirates than Gabriel Martinelli.
“Trossard, 30, is out of contract next summer with Martinelli tied down until 2027.”

Gunners will have to pay more than £17m for Mosquera
Arsenal will have to pay in excess of £17 million to sign Valencia defender Cristhian Mosquera, it has been reported.
The Gunners are said to have already agreed personal terms with Mosquera, who is into the final year of his deal with the Spanish side.
“Mosquera was initially keen on extending his contract with Valencia – before learning of Premier League interest. And their delay in tabling an offer has seemingly opened the door for Arsenal.
“Mosquera is understood to have already agreed personal terms with Arsenal, who see the young defender as the ideal understudy to William Saliba.
“While Mosquera is sold on a move to The Emirates, Arsenal will still have to pay a substantial fee to get a deal done. Valencia are understood to want £17.3 million if they are to sanction Mosquera’s dream switch to the Premier League.”
