Chelsea have lost their first game under Liam Rosenior in the Premier League in the hands of the league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last night.
Since replacing Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge, the former Strasbourg boss managed the Blues in seven games, winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 1.
Rosenior won his first 4 games in charge before back-to-back draws against Leeds United and Burnley, respectively. They have dropped seven points in their last three Premier League games.
As a result, they have fallen behind Liverpool and Manchester United in the top 4 race. With 10 games remaining in the season, the Blues will be looking to finish strong.
Rosenior must secure a Champions League spot next season. Otherwise, his job could be on the line. But the Blues are already preparing for the next summer transfer window.
Chelsea are looking to make a statement signing. That is why they have set their sights on a Real Madrid man who has been struggling this season.
Now, the Blues will be looking for a major overhaul upfront. With Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho underperforming, there is a chance that they might let him go next summer.
That is why they are looking to upgrade their forward line with a proven Champions League winner. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Chelsea are eyeing a €70 million move for Rodrygo.
The outlet claims that the Blues have submitted a formal offer for the Brazilian, and the Los Blancos are ready to consider the offer.
This season, Rodrygo has made 26 appearances for Real Madrid. But half of those appearances came from the bench.
He had nine goal contributions in the current season and scored only three goals. So, Real Madrid are now contemplating letting the 25-year-old leave the club.
If Chelsea do sign Rodrygo, it will surely be a statement signing for the next summer transfer window. The Brazilian will also have offers from multiple Saudi Pro League clubs as well.
