Real Madrid is in the process of seeking to strengthen the midfield in the next summer transfer window, and this has led to re -appearing rumors that associate them with the key midfielder of Chelsea, Enzo Fernandez.
The Argentine, the World Cup champion, is the goal that Los Blancos has been watching for a long time, from the days he was in River Plate, then at Benfica, before joining Chelsea in January 2023 with a terrible deal worth 121 million euros.
Although sometimes playing ups and downs since coming to Stamford Bridge, Enzo has affirmed its position, becoming a key factor and even one of the club captains this season.
Real Madrid has a clear need for consolidating the middle line. They could not find the replacement of Toni Kroos last summer, while Luka Modric’s future was still not sure and could leave this year.
In addition, Eduardo Camavinga’s performances are causing concern when he is said to have not been able to take a step further this season, making the French player’s future also questioned.
In this context, Enzo Fernandez is considered a suitable person for Real Madrid thanks to his tactical intelligence – the factors that the Royal Spanish team highly appreciates.
Enzo Fernandez had a 2024/25 season described as impressive at Chelsea. He showed his development, began to become a real attack threat.
The statistics partly proved this: In 42 appearances in all competitions, he scored 7 goals and had 13 assists, bringing the total contribution to the goal to 20.
The UK score in Chelsea’s recent 3-1 victory over Liverpool was a specific example showing his increasingly complete attack ability. At the age of 24, Enzo is still considered one of the very sought after players in the central midfielder.
However, the biggest and the focus of the question is that the price that Chelsea offer. Although the previous reports said that Chelsea saw Enzo could not touch, the latest news from England thought they seemed to have changed their stance, ready to sell him this summer.
But only when their financial request is met. Chelsea has informed Real Madrid that any club who wants to sign a contract with Enzo Fernandez will have to pay 200 million euros.
The number of 200 million euros has caused serious concerns at the Spanish Capital Club. Real Madrid has no intention of responding to the number that Chelsea has set. This shows that, from the perspective of Real Madrid, the price of 200 million euros for Enzo Fernandez is unworthy; Exceeding their reasonable spending limits at this time, despite their need for people and appreciate his talent.
Because the price is a big barrier, Real Madrid, despite keeping the attention, is said to continue exploring the market with other options in the mind, including PSG’s Joao Neves and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton. This further consolidated that the price of 200 million euros that Chelsea requires is not feasible for Real Madrid at this time.
For the rest of the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s teachers and students will put all their efforts to the La Liga domestic playground. According to the schedule, Real Madrid will face Barcelona this weekend.
