According to sources, CHELSEA is prepared to launch a surprise approach for Rodrygo, a star for Real Madrid.
This summer, the 24-year-old winger is expected to go up for sale.
According to shocking reports that surfaced last week, Rodrygo feels that teammates Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe are overshadowing him at Real Madrid, which is why he is unhappy there.
The Brazilian is currently in a “complicated moment” and has “one foot out the door,” according to a report from the Spanish source AS.
Xabi Alonso is reportedly happy to sell Rodrygo, but Rodrygo is waiting to talk to him about his future.
According to reports, Chelsea is keeping an eye on the situation in anticipation of a possible bid.
According to Goal, in order to find out if the player is interested in the move, the Blues have started speaking with his representation.
However, Chelsea and Real Madrid have not yet started talking.
With 68 goals and 50 assists in 267 games for Real Madrid, Rodrygo’s contract at the Bernabeu is set to expire in 2028.
In recent weeks, the two-time Champions League champion has also been connected to Liverpool and Arsenal.
And to acquire their man, they might have to pay about £100 million.
According to rumors, Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund and Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao are on Chelsea’s shortlist for a winger this summer.
The club and Gittens’ agency have been negotiating for a while, and they are prepared to treble Gittens’ £2.5 million annual salary at Dortmund.
