According to reports, despite Real Madrid’s interest, Chelsea has chosen not to trade Enzo Fernandez this summer. Los Blancos has long sought the Argentina international, according to Sky Sports, but the Blues have no plans to let the £110 million signing go.
Although he may not have always performed to the standards expected of him, Fernandez has emerged as a vital member of Chelsea since his high-profile transfer from Benfica a few years ago. Even so, it makes sense that Chelsea would not want to lose Fernandez, and it’s understandable why a major team like Real Madrid would be interested in him.
Fernandez is undoubtedly among the players in this squad who have the best chance of helping the team advance, even though he hasn’t exactly been able to find his best form while wearing a Chelsea shirt. A lot of money was spent on both players, so CFC would be prudent to stay with them for a little while longer. His midfield pairing with Moises Caicedo has a lot of potential.
Enzo Fernandez is key to this Chelsea project
Fernandez is one of Chelsea’s top players, and while they are looking to trade players, they will also be desperate to stay onto them. The 24-year-old is enjoying his greatest season since moving from Benfica in January 2023 for a then-record-breaking £106 million.
Fernandez has six goals and eleven assists in 40 games across all competitions. He has also become much more adept at getting into the box. In addition to leading the squad multiple times this season, the Argentine has developed into a leader.
Fernandez has been linked to a move to Real Madrid, but according to Chelsea insiders quoted by Mail Sport, even if the Spanish powerhouses were to increase their interest, he would not be moving. According to reports, Fernandez declined a move to Atletico Madrid, despite Chelsea’s insistence that he is an essential component of the project.
The Saudi team Al Nassr has made Fernandez’s midfield partner Moises Caicedo a target because the midfield is undoubtedly the team’s strongest position. This summer, Dario Essugo will join Chelsea from Sporting Lisbon as Caicedo’s backup, and Andrey Santos is returning from a stellar loan stint at Strasbourg.
