Arsenal Shift Focus, Liverpool Eyes Rodrygo Deal

Arsenal have shifted their focus to alternative targets like Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke, potentially easing Liverpool's path to signing Real Madrid's Rodrygo. Liverpool's interest in Rodrygo depends on the possible departure of Luis Diaz, who is negotiating a new contract amid interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich are monitoring both Diaz and Rodrygo, with a move for Rodrygo possible if they fail to sign Diaz. Real Madrid, under new manager Xabi Alonso, are holding out for offers around €100 million for Rodrygo, whose playing time has diminished. Arsenal may still consider Rodrygo or Eberechi Eze if their transfer plans change. The situation remains fluid as the futures of Rodrygo and several other key wingers are interconnected.
