According to ESPN and L'Équipe, Real Madrid has denied that it has any contact with Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

Real Madrid said it has not taken any steps, either directly or indirectly, aimed at signing the aforementioned player. In addition, the club has stressed that it has “no intention of pursuing such a transfer.” The Spanish club also expressed “utmost respect” for Enzo Fernandez, which, according to Real Madrid, is “an excellent institutional relationship.”

Meanwhile, according to the report, the former player has said that he is “looking at possibilities to leave Chelsea.” ESPN also reported that Chelsea could demand close to €120 million ($160m), which would be the price for the club.

The Athletic noted that there is another reason, as Real Madrid publicly discussed a transfer in connection with another player: the club has been interested in Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Olise. The report adds that Real Madrid have been monitoring the situation for the past 13 years, and that the player has been in contact with the club since then.

In the meantime, the source says that Enzo Fernandez: has played 54 matches this season in all competitions, scoring 15 goals; has joined Chelsea from Benfica in the summer of 2023 for a record-breaking fee of €120 million. It also says that Fernandez has a contract with Chelsea until the end of the season and that the Argentine has a release clause of €120 million.
