Overview
- Spanish outlet Fichajes, echoed by multiple reports, says Chelsea are preparing an offer of about €80m (£70m) for the 24-year-old forward in the winter window.
- Tottenham are keeping tabs on the situation, with Dean Jones describing a potential Spurs “statement signing” and listing Rodrygo as a possibility.
- Rodrygo’s minutes have dropped under Xabi Alonso, with reports citing roughly 327–348 minutes and only three starts across La Liga and the Champions League.
- Any deal would be complex given his contract to 2028 and reported wages around £345,000 per week, and Madrid are portrayed as hesitant to approve a mid-season sale.
- A separate report on Friday claimed Madrid could consider a €50–55m fee, but that valuation is unverified and no club has publicly lodged a bid.
