According to Spanish media Serb Radio, Arsenal has actually withdrawn from the Rodrigo competition, and Liverpool is now a team with real interest in him.
Sel Radio said that their reporters in the UK received news that Diaz's transfer to Bayern had made progress. Once the Reds sell Dias at a high price, they will officially start the pursuit of Rodrigo.
In this deal, Real Madrid is in a favorable position. It is not surprising that they are asking for more than €80 million based on multiple deals this summer, and Premier League teams such as Liverpool and Chelsea have the ability to pay this price.
And as for Arsenal, they have actually withdrawn from Rodrigo's battle now. Although they still haven't gotten York, nothing is expected to go wrong with the deal. After joining Maduaike + Yorke, Arsenal has no longer strong desire to introduce new strikers.
