A «new Casemiro case»… Arsenal is preparing for a shocking signing from Real Madrid
Real Madrid suffered an unexpected and painful loss in the transfer market last summer. When the team appeared to be completely closed, Casemiro surprised Florentino Pérez by informing him of his intention to leave.
The Brazilian believed that his era at Real Madrid was over, and that it would be best to leave in search of a new challenge in another team. The arrival of Aurelien Tchouameni threatened his starting place in the formation so he chose to leave.
The offer that Manchester United made him was too good to refuse, and Erik ten Hag persuaded him after talking to him personally.
As a sign of gratitude for the loyalty, commitment and performance of the Brazilian international throughout his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, they opened the doors to him, and managed to collect an amount of nearly 70 million euros, which is a very important number for a player who has already entered his thirties.
The former player of Porto and Sao Paulo followed in the footsteps of Raphael Varane, who also changed the capital of Spain to Old Trafford, and so far does not regret this decision.
And now there is another player in Carlo Ancelotti’s side who could choose to leave with the same scenario, and try his luck in the Premier League, where he has a team willing to pay whatever amount he asks for. We’re referring to Rodrygo, who has been in the news in recent weeks, and not in a positive way.
A confrontation occurred between him and Ancelotti, which showed that the relationship between the two is not good, after the player with the number “21” shirt was replaced in the Spain Cup match against Villarreal.
And from that moment on, he became a regular player just in case, as it happened recently, after Karim Benzema was injured. But the truth is, when all the players are available, the 22-year-old winger has no place in the starting line-up.
He has had enough of living as a substitute, a role he is quite tired of already, which is why he does not look down on going out, if he is promised elsewhere that he will be a starter in all matches.
And this is where Arsenal came in. Mikel Arteta’s men, who are going through an exciting season, being the only leaders in the Premier League, are already thinking of new faces for the next transfer window, and one of the targets they have set is Rodrygo.
They offer him regularity, a very ambitious and attractive project, and a very high salary. They could put around €75m on the table to get him out of Real Madrid, and hope that what happened with Martin Odegaard will be a motive to convince Rodrygo.
