According to a report from Fichajes, Real Madrid have shifted their attention toward Enzo Fernandez after realising that signing Vitinha from Paris Saint-Germain would be extremely difficult.

Notably, the Chelsea midfielder has long been admired within the Madrid hierarchy. 

In fact, the club has monitored him closely since his early days at River Plate, when he first began attracting attention as one of South America’s most promising midfield talents.

Within Real Madrid, the Argentine is viewed as a player who could bring balance to a midfield already packed with energy and physical strength. 

Madrid’s current group of midfielders offers athleticism and dynamism, but the club believes adding a player capable of dictating the tempo could take the team to another level.

Ready to go big

For that reason, the report claims that Real Madrid are considering a massive offer of around €120 million in an attempt to convince Chelsea to open negotiations next summer.

The idea behind the move would be to secure a playmaker capable of organising the game and enhancing the strengths of Madrid’s attacking stars.

A midfielder with Fernandez’s profile could potentially become a central figure in the club’s long-term project.

However, completing such a deal will be far from simple, as Chelsea have no plans to part ways with the Argentine international, who remains tied to the club through a long-term contract that runs until 2032.

Because of that agreement, any potential transfer would likely depend on the player himself expressing a strong desire to move. 

Without pressure from the footballer, convincing the London club to sell could prove extremely complicated.

Despite the obstacles, Real Madrid are believed to be confident in the power of their sporting project and the global appeal of the club. 

The chance to wear the Madrid shirt and compete regularly for the biggest trophies in Europe could play a role if negotiations eventually begin.

As such, the player’s representatives are said to be aware of the growing interest from Madrid, and speculation about possible informal contacts has already started circulating in international media.
