According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are ready to push for the signing of Enzo Fernandez as they are willing to offer €40 million plus Arda Guler. Whether Chelsea are open to the idea of such a deal remains to be seen, as the Argentine’s desire will also matter in any move.
Real Madrid are increasingly looking to sign a new midfielder after some bad performances this season. Following their exit from Arsenal in the Champions League, many have come to criticise Carlo Ancelotti’s side for their lack of action in the centre of the pitch.
The club have lacked the edge this season since the departure of Toni Kroos last summer, while there are concerns with the ageing Luka Modric. While the latter is still angling for a one-year deal to stay at the club, Real Madrid are more concerned about finding a solid replacement for the retired German midfielder.
There are a lot of candidates mentioned recently, including Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez and Martin Zubimendi. Real Madrid were reportedly willing to offer Arda Guler plus cash for Mac Allister, and now they are willing to make a similar proposal to Chelsea for their Argentine midfielder.
Real Madrid are indeed keen on signing Fernandez, as they view the World Cup winner’s profile as a perfect addition to their squad. Chelsea paid a club record sum to sign the Argentine back in the January window of 2023 and signed him up to a long-term deal, meaning it will not be easy to tempt the Blues into a sale.
Fernandez might be open to the idea of playing in La Liga, with Atletico Madrid also in the mix. There are indications that it might be a battle of the Spanish Capital giants for the Argentine, with Diego Simeone’s club also willing to offer cash-plus player. In Real Madrid’s case, they are eager to explore a deal by offering Arda Guler alongside €40 million in cash for Fernandez.
Whether Chelsea are open to the prospect of signing one of the most talented young stars in world football in Guler and parting ways with Fernandez remains to be seen. It’s an interesting proposition, as Fernandez might give his green light to join Real Madrid or maybe Atletico Madrid should an offer be forthcoming.
