Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo (L) and Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez (R)
Spanish giants Real Madrid are plotting to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez to bolster their midfield following their struggles last season.
According to RM Confidencial, Los Blancos view Fernandez as the ideal player to fit their midfield profile, box-to-box ability, and incredible aggressive pressing skills.
It was indicated that the club plans to offer Brazilian attacker Rodrygo and add some funds to bankroll the move in their attempt to snatch the World Cup winner from the Blues.
Despite the rumours, Real Madrid are yet to submit an official bid to commence negotiations as they look for midfield options after Luka Modric announced his departure from the club at the end of the 2024/2025 season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are understood to sanction any sale of the Argentine midfielder, whom they bought for over €100 million from Benfica.
Real Madrid have been active in the transfer window, having signed Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bournemouth youngster Dean Huijsen.
Madrid’s trophyless season after 2024/2025 has prompted the club to sign players to augment the squad, especially to fill the void left by German player Toni Kroos in midfield following his retirement from football.
