At the same time, Chelsea are looking to sign Real Madrid winger Rodrygo during the summer transfer window, according to Goal.com. The Brazilian is considering a potential departure after recently losing his starting place but plans to speak with expected new head coach Xabi Alonso before making a final decision. Chelsea have already spoken with Rodrygo’s representatives, although no has been made with Real Madrid yet.
Meanwhile, Marca reports that Real Madrid are seriously evaluating a move for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams. The 22-year-old winger has a €58 million release clause in his contract, which runs until 2027. The fee is not expected to be an issue for the Spanish giants.
Williams is ired by Real Madrid for his youth, explosiveness, and commercial potential. His profile as a Spanish international is also seen as a bonus, as the club continues to aim for strong representation in the national team. Last summer, he was linked with a move to Barcelona, but the Catalan club chose to sign Dani Olmo instead.
