Chelsea willing to make €100 million offer to sign Real Madrid attacker
Chelsea are reportedly willing to splurge €100 million to land Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes.Rodrygo, 23, has been a key first-team player for Los Blancos since arriving in 2019.
In nearly 200 games across competitions – including 26 this season – the Brazilian has contributed 48 goals and 38 assists. That includes 11 goals and six assists this campaign.
Rodrygo is contracted to the Santiago Bernabeu till 2028, but that has not discouraged the Blues from planning to swoop up the Brazilian.
As per okdiario.com (via El Nacional), the Premier League giants are willing to offer €100 million as they seek to convince Madrid president Florentino Perez to part ways twith the player.
However, with the Brazilian delivering the goods up front, especially in the injury-enforced absence of his compatriot Vinicius Jr., Los Blancos are unlikely to part ways with Rodrygo, especially in the middle of the season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have had their issues up front despite splurging close to £450 million last summer. They’re coming off a 1-0 defeat at Championship side Middlesbrough in the first leg of their EFL Cup semifinal on Tuesday (January 9).
