It was another frustrating night for Brazilian star Rodrygo Goes, as he remained an unused substitute for the fifth consecutive match — this time watching helplessly from the bench as Real Madrid crashed out of the Club World Cup following a shock defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

The 3-1 loss to PSG has not only shattered Real Madrid’s hopes of securing global bragging rights but also intensified speculation around Rodrygo’s future at the Spanish club. For Arsenal fans and scouts alike, this latest snub could be the green light they've been waiting for.

🚨 Sources close to the situation reveal that Rodrygo is growing increasingly unsettled at the Bernabéu, with his camp unhappy about his diminished role under manager Carlo Ancelotti. The 23-year-old, once tipped as the heir to Madrid’s Brazilian legacy, now finds himself playing second fiddle to rising stars and the ever-dominant Vinícius Júnior.

And while Ancelotti continues to deflect questions about squad rotation, fans and pundits aren’t buying it. Rodrygo’s consistent exclusion — especially in high-stakes matches like the Club World Cup — sends a loud message: he’s no longer untouchable.

That’s music to the ears of Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, who have been monitoring Rodrygo for months as part of their long-term attacking rebuild. With doubts over the future of Gabriel Jesus and the need for a more explosive right-wing alternative to Bukayo Saka, Rodrygo fits the bill perfectly.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, the Gunners have already made discreet inquiries and are prepared to table a massive offer should Rodrygo become officially available. The player himself is believed to be open to a move, especially if it guarantees more playing time and a central role in a title-contending squad.

But there’s a catch. Madrid still value Rodrygo highly and won’t let him go cheaply. His current market value sits around €80–90 million, and Florentino Pérez is unlikely to sanction a transfer unless the forward forces a move or Arsenal trigger a sizeable bid.

Meanwhile, Arsenal fans lit up social media after the PSG defeat:

“Bench again? Give us Rodrygo ASAP. Arteta will unlock him.”

“Madrid wasting talent as usual. Come to the carpet, king.”

“If we get Rodrygo, we’re cooking next season. No debate.”

It’s now a waiting game. With the summer transfer window looming and Real Madrid facing the fallout of another disappointing campaign, the question is no longer if Rodrygo leaves — but when.

And if Arsenal plays their cards right, the Emirates might soon be welcoming another samba star, one with something to prove and a point to make.
