Chelsea ready to fight off Real Madrid interest in Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea will attempt to fight off interest in 25-year-old Argentine international Enzo Fernandez from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Enzo Fernandez. The two European heavyweights are eager to reinforce their first-team squads by signing a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window. So, the 25-year-old Chelsea mainstay has emerged as a target for them.

The latest report has brought frustrating news for Real Madrid and PSG, as Chelsea will “fight off growing interest” in the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner in the summer transfer window. The 2024/25 FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Europa Conference League winners have “no intentions” of parting ways with Fernandez, and a summer exit may not be on the cards.

How has Enzo Fernandez fared at Chelsea so far?

Enzo Fernandez has established himself as one of the world’s best midfielders 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, and his stock skyrocketed after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. While the player endured teething problems at Chelsea, he has become a mainstay in the middle of the park for the West London club in the last three years.

The Argentine international has been exceptional in the 2025/26 season thus far, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists in 45 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Fernandez’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain 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 combing 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. Fernandez has thus emerged as a viable target for Real Madrid.

As for PSG, it is unclear why the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner is a target for Les Parisiens, as Luis Enrique has a stacked midfield unit at Parc des Princes. Nevertheless, PSG will dip into the market for a midfielder this summer, with Fernandez being an option worth considering.

However, PSG and Real Madrid may face an uphill task to land Fernandez, as Chelsea will “fight off growing interest” in the 25-year-old Argentine international in the summer transfer window. The Blues have “no intentions” of parting ways with Fernandez, and a summer exit may not be on the cards. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for him.
