Despite landing the likes of Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens in the ongoing summer transfer window, Chelsea are reportedly interested in another winger before the summer transfer window shuts.
It has been claimed that Liverpool are leading the race for Rodrygo, but the Blues still appear to have an interest in signing the 24-year-old this summer.
Rodrygo made over 50 appearances for Real Madrid last season, scoring 14 goals across those games.
While Rodrygo could join Chelsea in this transfer window, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix could depart, and it looks like the Blues could try to use the duo to sign the Brazilian.
According to Real Madrid Confidential, Chelsea are willing to hand both Nkunku and Felix to Real Madrid in a potential swap deal.
However, there are doubts as to whether the Spanish club would be interested in doing such a deal.

Why Rodrygo to Chelsea is a complicated deal
Nkunku and Felix have been heavily linked with moves away from Stamford Bridge, especially the latter, who is not part of Enzo Maresca‘s plans.
Felix, in particular, has been ruled out of Maresca’s plans and linked with a possible return to Benfica.
A lot of things need to happen if Rodrygo is to end up in west London, but a transfer to Chelsea is not impossible.
While the Brazil international is thought to be attracting interest from plenty of top clubs, Real Madrid Confidential’s report claims that he has not made a decision on his future yet.
That is good news for Chelsea, who may be able to convince Rodrygo to join them before the transfer market closes. Agreeing on a deal with Real Madrid and meeting the player’s wage demands could prove tricky, though.
