Arsenal has been assigned to a highly rated forward potential signature as Mikel Arteta’s absolute “dream” scenario, and the gunner is extremely keen to secure his signature after hearing bad news about a critical target.

Andrea Berta has already begun a promising life with the N5, with the Italian sports director sealing his contract from Real Sociedad to a total of around £55 million (Fabrizio Romano).

The 53-year-old has also confirmed the £5 million arrival from Kelsea of Kepas Alizabaraga from Chelsea. The Spaniards replaced Stamford Bridge in north London to ensure a replacement for the capable David Raya with a very sharp move by Berta.

This has now been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, and all of the documents from Kepa that will be Arsenal’s second unofficial signature after Zvimendi.
The Arteta’s engine compartment and goalkeeping options are reinforced with proven quality, but according to Romano, once again 205,000 pound Real Madrid forward Rodrigo is another man high on Berta’s agenda.
Although Brazil International has ordered a price tag of around £77 million and a high wage, he could be a expensive deal, Romano has asserted that Arsenal has placed him on the top of a wide range of targets.
Arsenal’s “dream” to sign Mikel Arteta’s Rodrygo
Speaking on his personal YouTube channel, the respected journalist says that it appears that Arsenal “Dream” signing Rodrigo, in particular Nico Williams, is much more likely to join Barcelona.
Williams is an important target for Arsenal, and Berta, according to Guardian Ed Aaron, even discussed with a Spanish representative in one of his “first acts” as a sports director, but the move to London is now considered “impossible.”
“Arsenal loves Rodrigo. When you say Arsenal, it’s about management, about coaches, about Mikel Arteta,” Romano said.
“They see Rodrigo as a great player and a winger, a dream target, because Nico Williams feels it’s impossible to reach this summer. Rodrigo is certainly a strong name on Arsenal’s list.”
The 24-year-old has achieved 14 goals and 11 assists in all competitions, including 2024/2025, including the Club World Cup.
The challenge behind every move for Rodrigo is the finances involved and persuade him to leave the most fascinating destination of world football so that he can start completely fresh in the Premier League, but Arsenal’s serious interest is clear.
