Real Madrid are not counting on Brazilian striker Rodrygo in the coming season and are looking for a buyer.
Chelsea want to make their mark in the summer transfer window, and their target is Rodrygo Goes. According to reports from England, the London-based club are willing to make an offer of around €80 million to secure the Brazilian striker from Real Madrid. The club has already made initial contact with the player’s representatives. The Blues’ intention is clear: they want to make him the new offensive leader of their project.

Rodrygo, who is coming off a season with 13 goals and 10 assists in 50 games, is seriously considering a change of scene. He has shown quality and versatility at Real Madrid, but the competition for places in the squad could limit his playing time next season, especially with new offensive reinforcements coming in. Aware of this, the player is now considering a move to a club where he can have a more central role.
Chelsea want to sign Rodrygo Goes
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s new head coach, sees the Brazilian international as a piece in his offensive system. His ability to adapt to different positions in attack makes him a very attractive player for the Italian coach. At Stamford Bridge, they also believe that a partnership between him and Cole Palmer can raise the team’s level in the attacking part of the pitch.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will not close the door to a sale if the price is convincing and the player himself insists on a transfer. In the coming days, formal negotiations between the clubs could start, but it all also depends on the Brazilian’s own wishes and what moves the Spanish big club makes in the transfer window. The future of Rodrygo, one of the biggest transfers of the summer, is starting to take shape.
