Real Madrid woke up to loud noise from England earlier today, with rumors claiming Chelsea were preparing an astounding €150 million bid to pull Vinicius Jr. away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Premier League heavyweights, known for their aggressive spending and long-term squad preparation, were thought to be ready to put Madrid’s commitment to the test at a time when the Brazilian’s contract renewal is still pending.
But, within hours of the rumour gaining hold, the tale took a dramatic turn.
Fabrizio Romano, a reliable writer, promptly responded to the speculation, stating that Chelsea is not in talks with Vinicius, Rodrygo, or their representatives.
According to Romano, the current FIFA Club World Cup champions have no plans, contacts, or ongoing discussions about the Real Madrid duo.
Market rumours
This clarity is critical, especially since Madrid’s Brazilian strikers frequently draw attention during times of uncertainty.

Despite the rumors circulating online, neither Vinicius nor Rodrygo are considering leaving at this time.
In truth, both players are completely focused on their jobs in the Spanish capital, where they remain critical to the club’s medium- and long-term sporting goals.
Contract standoff is real
However, the level of external interest is not coincidental. As previously reported, Vinicius’ future has been a topic of discussion around Europe as renewal talks have stalled.
The club and the player remain separated by financial expectations, resulting in a situation in which international teams keenly follow progress.
Chelsea’s name surfaced prominently in the most recent wave of rumors. However, despite the speculation, reality is significantly more stable than the headlines portray.
Real Madrid has not announced any sales, and Vinicius is still considered internally as one of the pillars of the initiative centered on youthful talent.
It is also reported that the forward is still committed to staying in Madrid, despite ongoing negotiations.
