One complaint that many Chelsea fans have had in recent times is the club's reluctance to go after big-name players, instead making one project signing after another. Of course, some have worked out, but overall, one would imagine that the club would have been in a better place if they had focused on a mixed strategy of bringing in youngsters as well as proven and experienced names.
After three underwhelming seasons and five different managers, fans will be hoping that the club have learned their lessons and are willing to tweak their strategy. A recent transfer rumour does appear to point in that direction.
As reported by GIVEMESPORT, Rodrygo is on Chelsea's radar. Real Madrid will hold out for €100 million for any interested club.
Rodrygo has had a difficult season at Real Madrid. Following the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, it feels like his importance to the team has faded and there have been suggestions that he is considering an exit in the summer, which has put clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal on alert.

Someone like Rodrygo would be an interesting signing for sure. In many ways, he is still a youngster who is yet to showcase what he is fully capable of.
There are many who believe that he has never been given a proper chance to sign at Real Madrid. Rodrygo's best position might be on the left flank but with Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, there is very little chance that he will ever be the first-choice option there.
That has not stopped Rodrygo from finding success in the Royal White jersey though. He has played a crucial role in two Champions League-winning campaigns and in the right system, could develop into one of the best players in the world. Will he end up at Chelsea? We will find out soon.
