Chelsea have set their sights on Real Madrid star, James Rodriguez according to the Telegraph.
The Colombian midfielder is believed to be frustrated with life at Real Madrid under Rafael Benitez, which we’re sure would make him a fan favourite at Chelsea already.
Rodriquez is thought to be considering a move away from the club in the summer with Manchester City also thought to be interested in the playmaker.
Madrid’s number 10 has scored three goals already this season, despite only featuring seven times. The 24-year-old would definitely ease the pressure on the likes of Eden Hazard and Willian at Stamford Bridge.
The midfielder joined Madrid in 2014 after starring for Colombia at the World Cup and winning the golden boot. He joined from AS Monaco for £71m, making him the fourth most expensive player in the world, behind Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
No fee has been reported yet, but if Chelsea are believed to be interested in the midfielder, Madrid will not want to let him go without a fight.
