Arsenal’s pre-season tour continues in Hong Kong, but transfer movement off the pitch is drawing just as much focus—www.naijnaira.com reports.
Real Madrid have reduced their £78m valuation of Rodrygo in hopes of encouraging fresh bids from clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool, as reported by AS.
Liverpool appear to have cooled on the winger after signing Hugo Ekitike for £79m and are now pushing for a deal involving Alexander Isak.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have temporarily paused their interest as their energy shifts to securing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
The Mirror suggests Madrid are now open to offers under £60m, which could bring Arsenal back into the conversation before the window closes.
“Rodrygo could be the man to take Arsenal to the next level,” one report noted, hinting that his ability might still fill a gap on the wing.
Even if Eze joins, Arsenal could still explore Rodrygo—especially if Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli exit before the season begins.
On the defensive end, Oleksandr Zinchenko may be on the move, with Fulham now approaching Arsenal about a potential deal.
GiveMeSport reports Fulham have been weighing a move since June and have now reached out to the player’s camp directly.
Zinchenko is valued around £15m by Arsenal, who are prepared to let him go as he no longer fits Mikel Arteta’s plans.
Both AC Milan and Al Hilal have also expressed interest, creating multiple exit routes for the Ukrainian international.
