Marca and Cadena SER report that Madrid have set an asking price of €90million (£76.8m) for Rodrygo, and Arsenal are one of the leading candidates to snap up the winger. Rodrygo still has three years to run on his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, so Madrid's negotiating hand is strong.

When the 24-year-old Brazilian started Real Madrid’s Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal on Wednesday — and assisted Madrid’s only goal in that 1-1 draw — it was his first appearance since being replaced at half-time of the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26.
