Chelsea reportedly monitors Rodrygo’s situation at Real Madrid amid summer changes under Xabi Alonso. The Blues have contacted the player's camp, but no formal offer yet.

Chelsea are reportedly monitoring Rodrygo Goes amid growing uncertainty about the Brazilian winger’s future at Real Madrid, with sweeping changes expected under soon-to-be-appointed manager Xabi Alonso.

According to Goal Brazil, the Blues have initiated contact with the player's entourage but have yet to take concrete steps toward a transfer. While the interest remains at an exploratory stage, Chelsea are viewing Rodrygo as a potential summer opportunity should Real Madrid open the door to his exit.

Rodrygo, 24, remains under contract at Madrid until 2028, but his role could be affected by incoming tactical shifts under Alonso. With Real Madrid’s squad expected to undergo restructuring, especially in attack, players like Rodrygo may be allowed to leave if the right offer arrives.

The former Santos forward has featured regularly under Carlo Ancelotti this season, making 51 appearances, including 39 starts, scoring 14 goals and providing 9 assists. Despite his contributions, the arrival of new talents and changes in formation could impact his standing in the squad.

Chelsea, known for capitalising on uncertain situations involving top talents, are reportedly proceeding with caution. The club is aware that Rodrygo would not come cheap, but are closely following developments in Madrid ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Whether or not a formal bid materialises will depend largely on how Rodrygo fits into Alonso's plans and whether Real Madrid decide to cash in on the Brazilian in the evolving market landscape.
