The Brazilian has fallen well down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu and is open to leaving the club as early as the January window.

The superstar only racked up 93 minutes of action from a possible 540 at this summer’s Club World Cup, while he has started just three matches across La Liga and the Champions League so far this season.

Tottenham move for Rodrygo

Transfer reporter IndyKaila posted on X this week that “Chelsea are in direct contract with Real Madrid. The subject is Rodrygo. Chelsea [are] willing to do [a] deal for January or summer. Confirmed!”

Arsenal and Man City have also been heavily linked but Fichajes says that Tottenham have now entered the race and are ready to make an offer of around €79m.

The report says that such an offer could be enough to convince Madrid to sell.

Rodrygo joined Real Madrid from Santos for €40 million in the summer of 2019.

The 24-year-old has gone on to make 283 appearances for Real Madrid over the last six and a half seasons, scoring 68 goals.

He has often been used as substitute but has proved a crucial member of the squad in La Liga and the Champions League.

He most famously impacted Madrid’s 2022 Champions League triumph.

He scored key goals in the quarter final win over Chelsea and the dramatic late comeback victory over Man City in the semi final.

Rodrygo scored in the 89th and 91st minute in the second leg over City to take the game into extra time which Madrid won. The Blancos then lifted the cup in the final.

His contract expires in June 2028.
