Chelsea midfield superstar admires Real Madrid but move unlikely

Real Madrid are set to enter the market for a new midfielder in the summer transfer window. Having let the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric leave without signing proper replacements, the Merengues are suffering.

Indeed, the club administration admits that mistakes were made in their squad planning, especially with the midfield unit, where the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, and Aurelien Tchouameni have not taken the step forward expected of them.

As such, the signing of a new midfielder is very much on the agenda for Real Madrid heading into the summer transfer window of 2026.

And, one of the names that has been mentioned as a tentative target is Chelsea and Argentina star Enzo Fernandez.

Enzo likes Real Madrid, but move not on horizon

Now, according to BBC Sport, Enzo Fernandez admires Real Madrid, although the Spanish capital club are unlikely to make a move for him in the near future.

The Argentine international, who was on Real Madrid’s radar at that time as well, has a contract with the Blues until 2032.

However, his camp is seeking an improved deal from the club, leading to speculations over his future at Stamford Bridge.

PSG, for one, are understood to be interested in Enzo, but the player is not keen on making the switch to the French capital. However, he does hold strong admiration for Real Madrid.

Despite that, the report states that the Spanish capital giants are not planning to make a move for the Argentine international in the near future.

After all, any move for Enzo would likely cost in excess of €100 million, given the fee that Chelsea shelled out for his signing and the time left on his contract.
