Chelsea are reportedly considering a swoop for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes this summer, according to Goal Brasil.
The Brazilian international has decided to leave Los Blancos this summer after an underwhelming campaign where other superstars sidelined him. He is looking for a new stomping ground.
Chelsea are in the market for a right-footed winger, and Rodrygo fits the bill.
Per the report, 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, as the report mentions, Real Madrid have also shown interest in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez. Both parties might try to initiate a swap deal, although they are rare in the game.
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.

For Chelsea, Rodrygo is more than just a flashy name. He is a proven difference-maker with an elite pedigree.
At 24, he offers a maturity and end product that outstrips raw talents like Jamie Bynoe-Gittens or Alejandro Garnacho (other Chelsea wing targets), who remain unproven at the highest level.
Rodrygo has logged crucial minutes for the biggest club in the world, scored Champions League knockout goals, and learned under pressure, qualities Chelsea sorely lack.
Chelsea attacker Mykhailo Mudryk is still in limbo over his future, while Raheem Sterling continues to underwhelm. They are seemingly unconvinced by Jadon Sancho.
