Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is reportedly “highly unlikely” to join Real Madrid in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Sport, as relayed by Sport Witness, Enzo Fernandez is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Chelsea mainstay has emerged as a target for Los Blancos.
However, the latest report has revealed that the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner is “highly unlikely” to join Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. Chelsea will have “no need or intention” to part ways with Fernandez in the coming months, and the “idea of Real Madrid ‘signing [Fernandez] Madrid seems utopian”.
How has Enzo Fernandez fared at Chelsea so far?
Enzo Fernandez has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League since joining Chelsea from SL Benfica in a big-money move in January 2023. The 25-year-old rose in prominence during his spell with River Plate before seeing his stock skyrocket after his exploits at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While the player endured teething problems at Chelsea, he has become a mainstay at the West London club.
The Argentine international has been exceptional in the 2025/26 season thus far, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Fernandez’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Real Madrid will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Will Fernandez leave Chelsea soon?
Real Madrid’s interest in Enzo Fernandez is understandable. The Spanish giants are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder heading into the summer transfer window, as they have struggled for productivity since Luka Modric and Toni Kroos ended their spells at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Several candidates have thus emerged on Real Madrid’s wishlist, with Fernandez also a viable target. Recent reports have claimed Chelsea will demand a nine-figure sum to part ways with the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window. However, the latest update has suggested that Fernandez is “highly unlikely” to leave the West London club in the coming months.
The report by Sport has suggested that Chelsea will have “no need or intention” to part ways with Fernandez in the coming months, and the “idea of Real Madrid ‘signing [Fernandez] Madrid seems utopian”. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 25-year-old Argentine international.
