Reports a few weeks back suggested that Betis were holding out for the full £70m release-clause in Rodriguez’s contract. However, now claims that the Spanish outfit wiꦺll accept a fee aඣs much as £45m less.

That could ಞtempt the Gunners into making their move. Arsenal are set to announce the signing of Albert Lokonga, but are still after more midf🥂ield additions it seems.

Argentina star Rodriguez was a near ever-present for Betis last season, making 35 appe💯arances. He’s won the title in Mexico, before proving a success for Betis in La Liga.

The £70m price tag was always going to be too much for Arsenal but a massive drop means a deal now see🅰ms feasible.

Rodriguez is a fine player, too. He has a bit of nastiness about him 💮but he’s also more than comfortable with the ball. If Granit Xhaka does leave, then the Betis man is ideal to step in.

£25m is not a lot for a top midfield talent. Of 𒉰course, a lot will depend on how much Arsenal are willing to spend this sum🎃mer. But out of all the names linked, Rodriguez seems a good fit.
