Overview
- Spanish outlet Fichajes is cited as the source for Chelsea preparing an approximately €80m (£70m) offer in January, a claim echoed by Madrid Universal, CaughtOffside and Football Talk without any formal bid disclosed.
- Coverage says Rodrygo’s minutes have dropped under Xabi Alonso, with only 348 minutes across La Liga and the Champions League reported so far.
- Reports suggest the 24-year-old could consider leaving to secure regular starts, despite his current Real Madrid contract being understood to run until 2028.
- Real Madrid are portrayed as reluctant to weaken their squad mid-season but may weigh a concrete proposal if the player pushes to depart.
- Tottenham have been mentioned as potential competition for his signature in separate reporting by TEAMtalk’s Dean Jones.
