The same article states that Arsenal have been keeping a close eye on the Argentine midfielder over the past few months and the club’s scouts have been watching the 26-year-old in action.
According to the same report, the Gunners will “push hard” to sign the Real Betis defensive midfielder to provide competition for Thomas Partey in the middle of the park.
Mundo Deportivo goes on to add that Rodriguez has a £69m contract release clause in his current contract with Real Betis, while the South American has three years left to run on his deal.
The Real Betis midfielder has scored one goal in 25 games in La Liga this term and has been booked eight times.
The Argentina international moved to Real Betis in a £2.7m deal from Mexican club side Club America in January 2020.
