Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is reportedly ready to leave The Blues just 3 years after joining from Benfica. The Argentine was arguably Chelsea’s best player in the just concluded disappointing 2025/26 campaign. The World Cup winner wants to make a move to Real Madrid this summer in what many see as a summer of reinforcement and restructuring for Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have already agreed a deal to sign Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries if Florentino Perez wins the upcoming elections. Real Madrid are expected to sign another midfielder, especially as reports suggest Eduardo Camavinga is on his way out of the club.
Enzo Fernandez has been flirting with Real Madrid in the media for some months now, and reports also confirm that Los Blancos have him on their list.
Chelsea will demand an important fee for Fernandez, whom they paid £105 million for just 3 years ago. Reports have mentioned a fee-plus-player offer, but no official links have connected Chelsea with any Real Madrid player of late. Chelsea left Fernandez out of the club’s kit launch on Monday, a move that has fueled the rumours even more.
Optimally, Real Madrid see Enzo Fernandez as a permanent replacement for Toni Kroos, who retired two years ago after winning the 2024 Champions League trophy.
