Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez intends to leave the club in the summer transfer window after the team finished 10th in the Premier League and missed out on European competitions. Although the Londoners do not want to part with the World Cup winner, they have set a massive price tag of £120 million for the player. The Argentine star's agent has already been in contact with Real Madrid representatives. This is reported by Goal.com .
The 25-year-old, who is Chelsea's vice-captain, has no intention of extending his contract and appeared to bid farewell to fans after Sunday's match against Sunderland. Recall that Enzo Fernandez was signed from Benfica in January 2023 for €121 million. The club now aims to resolve this matter before the arrival of new head coach Xabi Alonso.
Enzo Fernandez has achieved great success throughout his career. He won the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America with the Argentina national team. At the club level, he triumphed in the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea. He also holds prestigious titles such as the Portuguese and Argentine league championships and the Copa Sudamericana.
Last season, the Argentine midfielder made 54 appearances in all competitions, scoring 15 goals and providing 7 assists. Real Madrid is currently expected to make a final decision on his transfer. If the Spanish giants refuse to pay the requested fee, the player will have to continue working under Xabi Alonso in a new season without Champions League football.
