Chelsea Proposes Swap Deal to Real Madrid Involving Joao Felix and Nkunku for Rodrygo
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a major swap deal with Real Madrid, offering Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku in exchange for Brazilian forward Rodrygo. The proposed move reflects the club’s ambition to reinforce its attack under new head coach Enzo Maresca.
🔁 Details of the Proposed Swap
- Chelsea are open to offloading Joao Felix, who arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid last season, and Christopher Nkunku, whose role has come into question following the arrivals of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.
- The deal underscores Chelsea’s high valuation of Rodrygo, viewing him as a key target to elevate their frontline.
🇧🇷 Rodrygo’s Status at Real Madrid
- Rodrygo’s future at the Bernabéu is uncertain. The 24-year-old has yet to commit to staying, sparking rumors of a potential exit.
- Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Rodrygo saw limited game time—only 92 minutes at the FIFA Club World Cup—raising further questions about his place in the squad.
🇦🇷 Real Madrid Eyeing Enzo Fernandez
- In parallel, Real Madrid are said to be interested in Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea’s Argentine midfielder who joined in 2023.
- Fernandez has been a pivotal figure at Stamford Bridge, and Madrid’s interest could complicate negotiations surrounding the Rodrygo swap.
