Deny the rumors! Romano: There is no basis for Chelsea to sign Rodrygo or Vinicius

Romano clarified the transfer rumors about Chelsea in the report, clearly stating that recent reports from Brazil and Spain that the club is interested in Rodrygo and Vinicius are "baseless".

The reporter revealed that Rodrygo is not even on Chelsea’s signing list. He further explained that this was not to question the abilities of Rodrigo or Vinicius, who he called both "very good players", but because Chelsea's current team building direction is completely different.

Chelsea’s actual signing targets are young rookies, such as Esteban and Palmer, as well as 16-year-old Ecuadorian player Jonny Rodriguez.

Romano emphasized that the introduction of players like Rodrigo or Vinicius will involve high wages and transfer fees, which is not in line with Chelsea's current strategy.

He also reminded the outside world to review Osimhen's transfer operations in the summer of 2024. Chelsea did participate in negotiations to sign him at the time, but ultimately opted out to avoid breaking the team's salary structure. Romano concluded that the salary issue is a crucial part of understanding Chelsea's current recruitment strategy.
