Arsenal plot raid for Real Madrid frontman after top target chooses Barcelona

Arsenal have been among the clubs who were tracking Nico Williams for the past few weeks. But everything suggests the player could be on his way to Barcelona this summer. This is why Arsenal have shifted their priorities in the market and may instead go for a Real Madrid frontman. Arsenal eye move for Rodrygo According to AS, Arsena's search for a new attacker has led them towards Rodrygo. Advertisement The Brazilian international is one of the few Real Madrid players who are in contention to leave the club after a disappointing season and a poor performance in the opening Club World Cup match. Rodrygo has found himself in a precarious position this summer, where if he fails to convince Xabi Alonso, he might be in for a reduced role in the Real Madrid setup. Arsenal have set their sights on Rodrygo (Photo by) That has put Arsenal on red alert, with Mikel Arteta reportedly keen on bringing in players that can offer versatility in the final third. Rodrygo, to that end, could be a perfect bet. Arsenal expect many hurdles However, Arsenal have accepted the signing Rodrygo from Real Madrid won't be as straightforward. Advertisement The Premier League giants are having difficulties meeting the high salary demand of key attackers. This was the problem in the Nico Williams deal and there is no reason why Rodrygo, too, will not also demand a similar package. The report adds that Arsenal are not necessary the top choice for top players across Europe and even though the Gunners are playing in the Champions League, Rodrygo might want to weigh his options. For now, though, the Brazilian remains focused on the Club World Cup, where he will have an opportunity to impress Xabi Alonso.

Italy U21 Star Declares Inter Milan Are ‘Fired Up' To Face Urawa Red Diamonds In FIFA Club World Cup

Italy U21 Star Declares Inter Milan Are 'Fired Up' To Face Urawa Red Diamonds In FIFA Club World Cup Sebastiano Esposito says that Inter Milan are 'fired up' to face Urawa Red Diamonds at the Club World Cup. The 22-year-old spoke to Italian broadcaster DAZN ahead of the match, via FCInterNews. He also praised Urawa Reds for their athleticism. Advertisement Inter Milan take on Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds this evening. This will be the Nerazzurri's second match of the Club World Cup group stage match. They drew 1-1 with Mexican team Monterrey in their first. That opening day draw has left Inter with a lot of work to do over their remaining two group stage matches. After today, they will take on Argentine giants River Plate in their final group match. A win against Urawa Reds this evening would certainly see Inter Milan take a big step towards the knockout rounds. However, if the Nerazzurri are to draw – or worse, lose – then they would be teetering on the edge of an early elimination from the tournament. Advertisement That would hardly be welcome for Inter. They are hoping to find their feet under new coach Cristian Chivu. And recover from the massive setback that was a 5-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League final. Sebastiano Esposito: 'Inter Are Fired Up To Face Urawa Red Diamonds VERONA, ITALY – DECEMBER 08: Sebastiano Esposito of Empoli FC during the Serie A match between Verona and Empoli at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on December 08, 2024 in Verona, Italy. (Photo by) As far as the mood ahead of today's match, striker Sebastiano Esposito characterized it as 'fired up.' 'I hope that we can do well,' he continued. 'The Japanese team can cause us problems. They have a lot of athleticism.' 'We have to start strong to try to hurt them,' added the Italy Under-21 international. Meanwhile, Sebastiano Esposito also praised his brother Salvatore Esposito, midfielder for Spezia. 'He's an honour for us,' said the striker. 'He's the linchpin of our family. We're all united.' Esposito noted that his brother 'Pio is also here.' 'We hope that we can make them even more proud.'
