Real Madrid has been signing several players in the middle of the FIFA World Cup 2026, shocking the fans. Amid all this, there have been a lot of rumors that Los Blancos are in talks to sign another Chelsea player, Enzo Fernandez, and the club has finally spoken.
The 15-time UEFA Champions League winners have made no formal or informal approach to Chelsea for midfielder Enzo Fernández. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Argentine international remains on a shortlist of five midfield targets being considered by the Spanish giants. However, any potential move would require player exits from the current squad first, and no advanced negotiations or fast-track deal is currently underway.
Real Madrid drops truth bomb on interest rumors in Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez
Fernandez, who joined Chelsea from Benfica in a high-profile deal in 2023, has been the subject of recurring speculation linking him with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of his World Cup-winning quality but has faced inconsistency and competition for places at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho's side are expected to refine their midfield options this summer, but the club appears cautious amid financial considerations and squad balance priorities. Chelsea, meanwhile, would likely demand a substantial fee for one of their key assets.
Fans on social media have reacted with a mix of relief from Chelsea supporters and mild disappointment from some Madrid followers, though many acknowledge the high cost and current squad depth at the La Liga club. No further developments are expected in the immediate term.
