Misa Rodriguez Joins Arsenal After Leaving Real Madrid

Spain goalkeeper Misa Rodriguez has officially joined Arsenal on a free transfer after spending six years at Real Madrid, where she captained the team last season. The announcement was made by Arsenal, a club competing in the Women’s Super League, on Wednesday.

Rodriguez has represented Spain 24 times and was part of the national squad that won the Women’s World Cup in 2023, as well as the Women’s Nations League the following year. The 27-year-old goalkeeper made a total of 215 appearances for Real Madrid during her tenure.

Expressing her excitement about the move, Rodriguez stated, “I’m really excited to be part of the team and take on this new challenge. I want to help us compete for trophies.” Arsenal finished second in the league behind Manchester City last season and will begin their Women’s Super League campaign when the league kicks off in September.
