Chelsea is actively seeking a new forward to enhance their attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window. In pursuit of this goal, they are preparing to make a significant offer to acquire Rodrygo from Real Madrid.
The Brazilian winger is said to be feeling discontent in Madrid, having slipped down the ranks in the team’s attacking setup.
As per a report from AS, Rodrygo is experiencing a ‘difficult phase’ and is already contemplating an exit from Madrid. He intends to wait for Xabi Alonso to be officially appointed before making any decisions about his future.
Additionally, Goal reports that Chelsea is keeping a close eye on Rodrygo’s circumstances in Spain and is planning to submit a bid once the transfer window opens.
Although the Blues have not yet opened negotiations with Real Madrid, communication with the 24-year-old’s agents is already underway.
While Rodrygo is undoubtedly a talented player, making him an attractive target for Chelsea, he has a contract with Madrid valid until 2028, indicating that the Premier League club will need to invest significantly to secure his signing.

Moreover, Chelsea may need to offload some players to finance the acquisition of Rodrygo. For example, Christopher Nkunku is a Chelsea player rumored to be moving away from Stamford Bridge, and the club might have to conclude his transfer before they reinvest in securing Rodrygo.
