Chelsea have been linked with a swoop for Real Madrid star Rodrygo, despite not needing a left winger.
However, football.london journalist Bobby Vincent has revealed that Chelsea are unlikely to move for Rodrygo.
The Blues signed two left-wingers last summer and are also stacked on the right flank.
Alejandro Garnacho is finding his groove after initially struggling following his move to Stamford Bridge.
Jamie Gittens is still taking his time, but there have been glimpses of that talent that persuaded Chelsea to splash the cash on him last summer.
Last summer would have been the perfect time for Chelsea to move for the ‘elegant‘ Rodrygo.
With the club still shaping its new-look attack, the Brazilian could have slotted seamlessly into the starting role on the left.
He offers the type of creativity and directness that fit Enzo Maresca’s system.
Garnacho could have developed under his wing, learning from a player with Champions League pedigree while gradually earning more minutes.
But that window of opportunity has passed.
The Blues have since invested heavily in wide options, and both Garnacho and Gittens are beginning to justify the faith placed in them.
Rodrygo’s wages and status now make him an ill-fitting target for a project focused on youth and sustainability.
Simply put, if the deal didn’t happen then, it’s hard to see it happening now.
Chelsea’s left flank is sorted, and a move for Rodrygo looks dead in the water.
