Rodrygo Goes is constantly being approached with offers to leave Real Madrid, all of them from the Premier League, and the latest club to join the bidding for the Brazilian has been Chelsea. After the interest shown by Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool (the latter seems to be getting off the bandwagon after Salah‘s renewal), it is now the London club that is considering making an offer to the club and the player that could make him change his mind next season.
Rodrygo and his situation at Real Madrid
Rodrygo is one of the most sought-after footballers at Real Madrid. The Brazilian player, already well established in the white team and in European football, is one of the most attractive footballers, and there are reasons for this. His quality as a player is beyond doubt, but his status at Real Madrid is not as high as it deserves to be. Having Vinicius and Mbappé ahead of him takes some of the pressure off him (and frees him from responsibility), and the teams interested in signing him would not only give him star status, but also allow him to play on the left wing, the Brazilian’s favourite position and where he performs best.
The financial offer that the footballer would receive would also make him think. In the Premier League, he could earn double the salary he currently has at Real Madrid, which could motivate the footballer to think about a new destination for his future.
The Chelsea offer
Chelsea are preparing an offer that could jeopardize Rodrygo’s continuity at Real Madrid. They want him to be the star of the team for the next few years. They are offering to create a team around him, where he would be the man of reference. Chelsea want to get back into the Premier League race. They are currently in fourth place, which gives them access to the Champions League next season, but they are far from assured of a place. The need to sign a star is urgent, and Rodrygo would fit into the London club’s plans for the future.
Rodygo’s entourage is silent
It is striking that the Brazilian footballer’s entourage has remained silent in the face of the proposals coming from the Premier League. The footballer’s father met with Manchester City’s directors a few months ago, and the interest of United and Chelsea seems to be a reality, but his entourage neither confirms nor denies it.
For his part, the player has stated on numerous occasions that he is happy at Real Madrid and that he wants to continue wearing the white shirt for many years to come, that he wants to make history with the club and that he is fulfilling a dream he has had since he was a child. Furthermore, he has an excellent relationship with Florentino Pérez and the board of directors, so decisions about his future would be made by mutual agreement and in the interest of both Rodrygo and Real Madrid, which is now to remain in the white shirt for much longer.
But Real Madrid should be careful: Rodrygo Goes is highly valued in the Premier League and they are still tempting the player. A higher salary, being the star of a team with aspirations to win everything, and the challenge of new challenges after having won everything with Real Madrid, could tip the balance for the Brazilian player. The competition in the white squad and the status of the player could make him consider a change of scenery, so Florentino Pérez must be vigilant if he wants to keep a world-class player like Rodrygo.
