Real Madrid have made it a priority to sign a new central midfielder in the summer transfer window later this year.
Having not signed replacements for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, and seen the current crop of midfielders fail to step up, Los Blancos realise it is an issue they must address before the next season.
Several name have been highlighted as potential targets for Real Madrid, with Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez being one among them.
The 2022 World Cup winner has been on the Merengues’ radar for some time now and reports suggest that he too admires the Spanish capital club a lot.
Enzo Fernandez breaks silence on his future
Amidst the speculation, Enzo Fernandez recently gave an interview to ESPN Argentina (h/t Mundo Deportivo), during which he addressed the topic of his future at Chelsea.
Despite all the noise surrounding him and the interest from Real Madrid, the former Benfica ace made it clear that he was happy at Stamford Bridge and was looking to win many more titles with the Premier League giants.

“I’m very grateful for the three years I’ve spent here. We’ve gone from bad to better, and being here today makes me very happy,” he said.
“I want to win titles with the club because that’s what this club demands. I feel very connected to the club and I feel very good, so I hope to win many titles here,” Enzo further stated.
Move was always challenging
A move for Enzo was always going to be challenging to pull off, considering that he is a key player for Chelsea and has been tied down to a long-term contract until 2032.
Recent reports indicated that the Blues would seek a sum of around €100-120 million for their ace midfielder in case of a potential transfer – a figure Real Madrid are unlikely to meet.
Now, the player himself has insisted that he is happy at Chelsea and wishes to win many more titles at the club, making a summer transfer extremely unlikely.
