Arsenal could reportedly land Ricardo Rodriguez from Wolfsburg for a fee less than his now-expired €25 million release clause.
That’s according to Blick (h/t Tom Coast of Sport Witness), who have reported it is “impossible” for the Bundesliga side to keep hold of the left-back this summer. It’s also suggested that while the trigger amount aforementioned is no longer valid, Rodriguez’s inconsistent showings for Wolfsburg may see him sold for a “significantly lower” sum.
The 23-year-old may have been hit and miss in a Wolfsburg team that struggled last term, but anyone who has tracked his career will be aware of the talent he possesses.
