Real Madrid is linked to a number of midfielders during the summer transfer window, but nobody has seen Los Blancos make a movement. There is a certain stream of thought that if they had their way, Chelsea -Midfielder Enzo Fernandez would be their priority.
The Argentina man was previously one of their goals while on the river plate, and they again watched a movement for Fernandez before Chelsea expressed € 121 million to him after his opening months at Benfica. His shape in Chelsea is more mixed, but Fernandez is still seen as one of the few midfielders in the world who has the capacity to manage a game from the middle of the park by Real Madrid.
According to Simon Philips to his Talk Chelsea Substack, Los Blancos continues to send messages to Chelsea about Fernandez. However, his source explains that whoever is their contact at Chelsea, they are currently just answering with money-bag emojis.
The blues have no plans to sell Fernandez, and Los Blancos would be obliged to make a big offer for the 24-year-old before Chelsea would think about it. The current record transfer of Real Madrid will be Jude Bellingham, if the deal indeed meets all variables and rises to € 135 million, but Real Madrid should be excess for Chelsea to make a meaningful profit.
The lack of talking about other alternatives speaks about the inescapable fact that Los Blancos has difficulty finding what they want on the market when it comes to a midfielder. Stuttgart Man Angelo Stiller is linked to the club, but it seems that he is currently much more an option than a target at the time of writing.
