Arsenal face major stumbling block in bid to sign Rodrygo

Rodrygo has been tipped to move out of the Santiago Bernabeu this summer after an underwhelming 2024-25 campaign, where he saw his game time reduced due to fierce competition in the club's attack. The Gunners, who are looking to sign a new forward, have been linked with a move for the Brazilian.

Los Blancos are likely to demand a fee in the region of €75 million (£64m/$86) for their star attacker, which Arsenal are ready to meet; however, the player's massive €12m per season salary demand could prove to be stumbling block for the North London club as they are not ready to spend that amount of money on player's wages.
