Chelsea considering bid for Real Madrid star Rodrygo | OneFootball

Chelsea are reportedly considering a swoop for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes this summer.

The Brazilian international has decided to leave this summer after an underwhelming campaign.

Chelsea are in the market for a right-footed winger, and Rodrygo fits the bill.

The Blues have contacted his representatives to understand what it would take to get a transfer over the line.

Rodrygo’s contract runs until 2028, and Chelsea must pay big money to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

However, Madrid are interested in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. Both parties may try to initiate a swap deal, although they are rare in football.

Rodrygo will back himself to explode on the left wing for Chelsea after years of toiling on the right flank. He is keen on joining a club where he can play in his favoured position on the left.

The 24-year-old offers the maturity and end product that outstrips targets Jamie Bynoe-Gittens or Alejandro Garnacho, who remain unproven at the highest level.

Rodrygo has logged crucial minutes for the biggest club in the world, scored Champions League knockout stage goals and thrived under pressure.

Chelsea attacker Mykhailo Mudryk is still in limbo over his future, while Raheem Sterling continues to underwhelm on loan at Arsenal. They are unconvinced by Jadon Sancho.

In a summer where Chelsea must get wiser with recruitment, choosing experience and pedigree over potential could be the difference between another rebuild or real progress.
