Real Madrid have suffered a massive blow in their pursuit of 25-year-old Chelsea midfield mainstay Enzo Fernandez.
Real Madrid already have a star-studded squad, but they still remain in search of more quality to further bolster their ranks. At this point, they want to bring in a world-class midfielder, and Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez is one of the biggest names on their wishlist.
But, according to a report from Fichajes, Los Blancos have suffered a massive blow in their pursuit of the Argentine World Cup winner, as he is happy at Chelsea and wants to continue at Stamford Bridge for now.
Fernandez made a name for himself coming up the ranks at River Plate. He then had a short stint at Benfica, when Chelsea decided to break the bank to sign him at the start of 2023. The 25-year-old South American midfielder has done wonders for the Blues, and he has gone on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders in the world.
His sensational rise at Chelsea hasn’t gone unnoticed. Spanish giants Real Madrid have taken note, and they are reportedly ready to go all out to sign him. The Argentine international has been constantly linked with a move to the Spanish capital over the last few months.
Reports in England have suggested that Fernandez is unhappy at Stamford Bridge and is ready to push for a move away, despite having a massive contract with the Blues that runs until 2032. However, the reality is completely different.
Fernandez won’t be leaving Chelsea
Fernandez is loving life in London. He is happy at the club and has denied reports suggesting he is unhappy. The 25-year-old has reaffirmed his commitment to the Premier League giant. In recent interviews, he has made it clear that he is not thinking about a move away next summer.
The River Plate graduate is enjoying the responsibility that has been put on his shoulders. He shares a very strong bond with the club and will continue to feature for them next season as well. Fernandez wants to win important titles with Chelsea.
While Real Madrid undoubtedly carry a strong pull, in Fernández’s case, they may still need to explore potential alternatives if a deal proves difficult to execute.
