Arsenal have been handed a massive boost in their bid to sign Rodrygo as the Real Madrid star has now 'formally requested his departure' from the club.

While his focus may be on his injury recovery, it remains to be seen whether Camavinga will still be at Real Madrid when the transfer window closes later this summer. According to Fichajes, Rodrygo and Camavinga have both informed Real Madrid of their desire to leave the club this summer.

When the 24-year-old Brazilian started Real Madrid’s Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal on Wednesday — and assisted Madrid’s only goal in that 1-1 draw — it was his first appearance since being replaced at half-time of the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26.
