Ronaldo Pushes Al-Nassr to Sign Rodrygo

Cristiano Ronaldo has urged Al-Nassr to prioritize signing Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, who is now 24, over Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli as the Saudi club seeks to strengthen its squad. Al-Nassr have reportedly contacted Rodrygo’s representatives with a lucrative offer, but the Brazilian prefers a Premier League move, with Arsenal showing strong interest and willing to pay up to €90 million. Real Madrid is open to offers for Rodrygo amid his reduced playing time. Arsenal’s pursuit of Rodrygo depends on the potential sale of Martinelli, who is reluctant to move to Saudi Arabia due to concerns about his Brazil national team prospects. Meanwhile, Arsenal are also considering Anthony Gordon and Noni Madueke as alternative attacking reinforcements. Separately, Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Tottenham are targeting Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini for a defensive signing this summer.
