Chelsea ready to pay €80 million to prise 24-year-old star from Real Madrid | OneFootball

According to an important update from Fichajes, Chelsea have emerged as serious contenders for the signature of Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, with the Premier League club reportedly willing to table an offer worth up to €80 million.

It is expected that the 24-year-old Brazilian could become one of the headline names in this summer’s transfer window, as speculation around his future begins to heat up.

Reports from England suggest that Chelsea have already made initial contact with Rodrygo’s entourage and are positioning him as the future focal point of their attack.

The Blues are desperate to rebuild under new leadership and believe that Rodrygo’s pace, dribbling, and versatility could spearhead their revival.

With a clear intention to elevate their forward line, Chelsea see the Brazilian as a player capable of operating across the front three and linking effectively with Cole Palmer.

Rodrygo remains one of Real Madrid’s most technically gifted attackers. However, the competition at the Bernabeu is set to intensify, especially with the imminent arrivals of attacking reinforcements.

The forward is reportedly open to a move, recognising that a transfer could offer him the opportunity to become a leading figure rather than a rotational option.

A switch to Stamford Bridge, where he would likely be a guaranteed starter, may be too tempting to resist at this stage of his career.

As for Real Madrid, the club has not ruled out a sale. Florentino Perez and the sporting directors are understood to be open to the idea that if the price is right and if Rodrygo himself signals a clear desire to leave.

A figure around the €80 million mark could be enough to trigger negotiations, especially given Madrid’s continued strategy of balancing galactico signings with squad harmony and financial prudence.
