Real Madrid are always pushing to buy the best players in the world, and Chelsea fans will never forget the departure of Antonio Rudiger and Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.

And the latest name on Florentino Perez’s radar is none other than Chelsea’s midfield general Enzo Fernandez.

According to reports from Goal Brazil, Los Blancos have initiated contact with the Argentine international in what could become the club’s next major Galáctico signing.
The 24-year-old World Cup winner joined Chelsea in January 2023 for a record fee of over €100 million. Despite the Blues’ inconsistent performances over the past two seasons, Fernandez has consistently stood out as one of their key figures—offering leadership, creativity, and a fierce competitive edge in the heart of midfield.
Now, with Real Madrid looking to strengthen their engine room amid the eventual departures of veterans like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos, Enzo presents an ideal long-term solution. His technical brilliance, composure under pressure, and championship pedigree make him a natural fit at the Santiago Bernabéu.
While Chelsea are reluctant to let go of one of their biggest investments, Madrid’s strategy could hinge on convincing the player to push for the move. If Fernandez expresses a desire to swap London for the Spanish capital, the Blues may be forced to negotiate—potentially for a fee slightly below what they paid Benfica.
Timing will be crucial. Any potential agreement is likely to come after the FIFA Club World Cup, giving Madrid more time to assess the financials and squad structure. With a midfield already stacked with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga, adding Fernandez would further solidify Madrid’s domination for the next decade.

Real Madrid’s Galáctico tradition has always been about signing players who embody both world-class ability and global appeal. Enzo Fernandez fits that mould perfectly. If the deal goes through, it could be the latest masterstroke in Perez’s ongoing mission to keep Madrid at the pinnacle of world football.
