"Real Madrid are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Enzo Fernandez, with the Spanish giants ready to test Chelsea's resolve over one of their most prized midfielders. According to Football Insider, the 24-year-old Argentina international is now a priority target for Xabi Alonso's side as they continue their long-term midfield rebuild. Any potential deal is expected to depend on the player's willingness to move, but an offer exceeding 100 million could be enough to tempt Chelsea into negotiations."
"With legends like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, who have taken care of the Real Madrid midfield for a long time, calling time on their careers in Spain, the Spanish giants are looking for a player who can take their place in the middle of the park. Fernandez, who burst onto the world stage by winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina and later sealed a British-record 106 million move to Stamford Bridge, is viewed as a player capable of anchoring Los Blancos' midfield for the next decade."
"With ongoing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) pressures, a bid exceeding 100 million might prove difficult to ignore. The Argentine World Cup winner ticks all the boxes for Los Blancos, but whether Chelsea are willing to sanction his departure, and whether Fernandez himself is ready to embrace a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, remains to be seen."
Real Madrid are prioritising Enzo Fernández as part of a long-term midfield rebuild under Xabi Alonso. Any transfer would hinge on the player's willingness to move and on Chelsea's response to a substantial bid. An offer exceeding 100 million could force Chelsea into negotiations despite the club's heavy investment in signing Fernández for a British-record fee of 106 million in January 2023. The departure of veteran midfielders at Real Madrid has created a need for a long-term anchor. Profit and Sustainability Rules pressures and Chelsea's reluctance to sell complicate the potential transfer and future midfield decisions.
