Chelsea<\/a> are reportedly a \u2018strong contender\u2019 to sign Real Madrid<\/a> forward Rodrygo Goes, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Blues decided to reinforce the left-wing position by purchasing Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens from Manchester United<\/a> and Borussia Dortmund, respectively, last summer.<\/p>\n However, the Argentinian international has struggled to settle into his new surroundings thus far, scoring a solitary goal in 17 Premier League<\/a> appearances.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Gittens has failed to adapt to the English top flight\u2019s physicality, netting a solitary goal in 27 matches across all competitions. He has even been out due to a hamstring problem in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Moreover, Pedro Neto has been displaying inconsistent performances, picking up a red card in a crucial Premier League encounter against Arsenal<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n Now, Fichajes<\/em> state that Chelsea are planning to reinforce the flanks once again and Todd Boehly has identified Rodrygo as an \u2018ideal option\u2019.<\/p>\n The West London club are a \u2018strong contender\u2019 to secure the Brazilian\u2019s service after opening formal talks with the player\u2019s representatives. They have even offered him a contract proposal.<\/p>\n Having struggled to find regular game time at the Estadio Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, Rodrygo is prepared to leave and is ready to move to Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n The South American is valued at around \u00a352m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a> and has a contract until 2028. So, Los Blancos are in a strong position to demand a huge fee to sell him.<\/p>\n Rodrygo has mainly played as a right-winger since moving to the Spanish capital from Santos. However, he is a left-winger by trait but is also efficient centrally. He has made only 10 starts across all competitions thus far this season, making seven goal contributions.<\/p>\n The Brazilian international is currently at the prime stage of his career and could be a shrewd acquisition for Chelsea should they purchase him.<\/p>\n However, any potential move to Chelsea may be put on ice following news that Rodrygo has suffered a serious knee injury. The Blues will want to wait until the Brazilian is fully recovered before sanctioning a big money deal so we\u2019ll have to wait and see how things develop over the coming months.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Arsenal, Chelsea are set to face Aston Villa<\/a> in the Premier League on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
