Chelsea have reportedly taken steps to try and sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo for the summer transfer window in what could be a huge move.
The news comes after Chelsea went down 2-0 against Newcastle United away from home on Sunday lunch time in a crucial game for the race for Champions League football next season.
Chelsea needed to win this game as much as Newcastle did, but a first half sending off by Nicolas Jackson did not help their cause. Enzo Maresca has admitted that Jackson now needs to learn from this situation moving forward.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher now believes that Chelsea have a big problem after this defeat with just two games remaining of the season and the reality being that The Blues need two wins to guarantee a place in the Champions League for next season.
Rodrygo would be a statement signing
If Chelsea managed to land Rodrygo then it would truly be a statement signing of intent by the Champions League hopefuls, but it also doesn’t feel like a move that sounds too realistic to me.
What is being said?
Manchester City and Chelsea have taken steps to try and sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo Goes in the summer window.
That’s according to Wednesday’s edition of Sport, and they report Manchester City and Chelsea have contacted the forward.
It would be a blockbuster move for Chelsea that would be very well received by their fans. But I feel that if City are involved then we may end up losing out anyway, even if he does make a move away from Madrid.
