London’s Chelsea faces the potential departure of another superstar, following the virtual agreement of Marc Cucurella’s transfer to Santiago Bernabéu. Reports suggest that Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez is keen to join his Spanish teammate at Real Madrid.
Details: Insider Ben Jacobs reveals that Fernandez, a World Cup winner with Argentina, has expressed dissatisfaction with his current situation at Chelsea. He has begun openly communicating his desire to leave the club this summer.
Chelsea’s management remains unfazed by the player’s intentions, supported by his long-term contract. However, they have confirmed that they will not compel Fernandez to stay against his wishes. The club has set a fixed price of £120 million for the midfielder, as previously announced.
Nevertheless, the transfer is not finalized. Real Madrid’s decision-makers, led by José Mourinho, are currently in deep discussions to identify the precise profile of midfielder necessary for a balanced squad. In addition to Fernandez, Real Madrid is considering other options, including Mateus Fernandes and Manchester City‘s defensive midfielder Rodri.
