Chelsea prepare huge offer to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo next summer
According to the Catalan news outlet El Nacional (h/t Football.London), Chelsea are preparing a huge offer to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid in next summer’s transfer window. A talented individual, the Brazilian has failed to reach the levels he promised to in his earlier days at the Bernabeu.
The Blues are planning to raise their efforts in securing the signature of the Brazilian at the end of this season. Real are likely to be open to part ways with him and could entertain offers coming their way. A bid worth £67.5million is being plotted by the English club to land their desired target.
Thomas Tuchel could use some reinforcements in the attacking front, looking at how others at his disposal have failed to make a mark. The Madrid youngster could be that man, but things are still far away for any potential move to come to fruition. His lack of minutes could help their chances of facilitating a future transfer.
A bit expensive?
Los Blancos signed the 20-year-old from Santos after a fee of around €45million was paid for his services. He exploded into form in Spain in the early days but has been inconsistent with his displays since. That has seen him earn fewer minutes under Carlo Ancelotti this campaign.
The La Liga starlet has played 20 matches this term and has scored twice with three assists to add to it. Looking at his minutes, it indicates how it amounts to just below nine full games in total. As such, it is puzzling to see that we are ready to pay a significantly higher amount for him.
Sure, looking at his overall time with Madrid, the Brazil winger has made 79 appearances while scoring 11 times alongside 14 assists. His long playing career would be another factor but, it does not justify the inflated price mentioned above.

Marina Granovskaia is famous for her negotiations skills and doing good business and, this goes completely against her reputation. Thus, this news should be taken with a pinch of salt unless we get more reliable information in the coming days.
The prospect of signing the Los Blancos forward in itself is not bad, as our attackers have struggled to make an impact this season. That opens up the possibility of incomings, but it would have to be balanced with necessary departures.
