Real Madrid striker has become the focus of attention in the summer transfer window

The Premier League is "boiling"! Rodrigo has become the focus of the summer window, and Chelsea has joined the battle

Many European media reported that Premier League giant Chelsea has become the latest club to be interested in Brazilian striker Rodrigo, which also indicates that the transfer market will usher in a fierce battle this summer.

Previously, Real Madrid management had clearly notified Rodrigo, hoping that he would leave the team in the summer of 2025. As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many European giants. Currently, several top clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain are closely following the trends of the 24-year-old Brazil international. In addition, professional league teams from Saudi Arabia such as Riyadh Crescent and Riyadh Victory also expressed strong interest.

However, what really heats up this battle is the strong intervention of Premier League newcomer Chelsea.

Chelsea wants to chase Rodrigo with the sale of Maduaike funds

After selling winger Noni Maduaike to Arsenal, the Blues are planning to strengthen their wing offensive forces before the new season, and Rodrigo is considered an ideal candidate to replace Maduaike.

In fact, Chelsea executives have long admired Rodrigo's talent and have considered introducing the Brazilian star in the past. Now, they have £52 million from the sale of Maduaike, coupled with their outstanding performance and successful advancement in the Club World Cup this season, and are expected to receive about £80-90 million in event bonuses, giving them financial strength to chase Real Madrid stars.

Nevertheless, it is not easy for Chelsea to sign Rodrigo smoothly. The giants such as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal are also interested in introducing this Brazilian attacker, and the competition is bound to be extremely fierce.

With the addition of many wealthy families, Rodrigo's value has also been pushed up. According to Spanish Le Marca, Real Madrid has made it clear that it will not release people at a price of less than 90 million pounds (about 100 million euros). This price tag undoubtedly discouraged many clubs, but it also reflects Real Madrid's firm stance on its value.
