Arsenal target Rodrygo Goes was in action for Real Madrid in their Club World Cup meeting with Al-Hilal on Wednesday night.

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey previously confirmed that Arsenal love Rodrygo and are keen to press home their interest.

With Rodrygo growing concerned about his future in recent weeks, the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all circling.

However, Rodrygo is said to be keen on making his mark at Real under new head coach Xabi Alonso, who started the Brazil international against Al-Hilal.

Los Blancos laboured to a 1-1 draw and a number of their fans were eager to send a message to Arsenal about Rodrygo.

Real Madrid fans tell Arsenal counterparts that they’d be welcome to Rodrygo

Rodrygo may have provided the assist for Gonzalo Garcia’s opener, but he didn’t really do much else in a game Real fans will have expected to win.

The overall mood among the fanbase was that Florentino Perez should start talks with Arsenal to offload Rodrygo.

One fan said: “Gonzalo even without the goal was best player on the pitch, Rodrygo even with the assist was the worst player on the pitch…

“80m to Arsenal, rob Arsenal before it’s too late.”

Another fan said: “It’s not his fault, Rodrygo doesn’t enjoy playing the right wing. Left to me alone he should accept the Arsenal transfer.”

One Real Madrid supporter made a number of points about several players, including Rodrygo.

“Huijsen was good and saw small improvements on some area but Xabi has got a lot of work to do,” they said.

“Plus Rodrygo should be shipped to Arsenal. And Vini needs to get his game back. And why we let Luka leave?”

Another fan said: “Florentino Perez should start negotiating with Arsenal for Rodrygo.”

And another simply wrote: “Rodrygo should leave for Arsenal.”

What Xabi Alonso has said about Rodrygo

Rodrygo’s issues in the final weeks of last season came under Carlo Ancelotti, who has since left Real Madrid.

With Alonso now in the dugout, he has been working with Rodrygo and it looks as though he is happy with what he is seeing.

The Real Madrid boss, speaking ahead of the game against Al-Hilal, confirmed that Rodrygo is ready to contribute.

He said, as per Metro: “I know what had happened in the final stretch, it was not easy for him.

“He took some time to reset his head, and I see him wanting to enjoy and contribute.”

The next few weeks should provide some indication regarding Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabeu.

One game isn’t the be all and end all, and there are more Club World Cup games on the horizon, as well as pre-season.
