Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are also following the Brazilian winger closely amid growing uncertainty over his role at the Bernabeu. The 23-year-old has started to attract serious attention, especially with Real Madrid expected to make several changes this summer. Advertisement According to a previous report from Sports Zone, the club no longer considers Rodrygo untouchable. His representatives have already held talks with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool. PSG have also made contact, though their interest appears more cautious for now. More recently, TBR Football reported that Arsenal are becoming increasingly confident about their chances of signing him. Rodrygo is expected to clarify his position after the Club World Cup. Could PSG be preparing for move on Real Madrid star?PSG have reportedly made contact with Rodrygo's representatives in case the Brazilian decides to leave Real Madrid, according to ESPN Brasil. The update comes shortly after Sky Sports reported that Al-Nassr are also pursuing Rodrygo and have already approached his camp. Cristiano Ronaldo—one of Rodrygo's idols—is said to be encouraging the move. Advertisement Despite the Saudi interest, Rodrygo is currently prioritizing a potential move to the Premier League and isn't considering a switch to the Saudi Pro League at this time. Still, Al-Nassr are ready to put a lucrative offer on the table and plan to keep tabs on the situation.

That said, MARCA notes that no club has submitted a formal bid or shown concrete interest so far.
