Real Madrid are reportedly plotting a summer move for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez as they prepare for a potential midfield reshuffle. According to Fichajes, the Spanish giants are considering Fernandez as a replacement for Eduardo Camavinga, who could be on the move in the upcoming transfer window.
Madrid’s Bold Summer Plans
With Florentino Perez gearing up for another statement transfer window, Real Madrid are expected to strengthen multiple positions. The club has already been linked with a sensational free transfer for Trent Alexander-Arnold, alongside moves for a left-back and central defender. Now, a midfield overhaul could also be on the cards.
Rumors suggest that Los Blancos are open to selling Camavinga for around €70 million, with several midfielders shortlisted as potential successors. Crystal Palace’s rising star Adam Wharton and PSG’s young prodigy Joao Neves have been mentioned, but Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez has emerged as a standout option.
Chelsea’s Stance on Fernandez
Fernandez, a World Cup winner with Argentina, arrived at Stamford Bridge in a record-breaking deal from Benfica. However, his time in England has been far from smooth, with Chelsea struggling to find consistency. While the Blues reportedly set a €120 million price tag for him in January, recent reports suggest they could be willing to negotiate around €80 million. However, Chelsea are unlikely to let him go cheaply, as he remains a key part of Enzo Maresca’s long-term vision.
Would Madrid Really Sell Camavinga?
While Fernandez would be a marquee addition, parting ways with Camavinga seems like an odd decision. The 21-year-old Frenchman has been a pillar of Madrid’s midfield, showcasing versatility and defensive stability. Selling him to accommodate Fernandez would raise eyebrows, especially given his importance to Carlo Ancelotti’s system.
Moreover, with Fernandez tied to Chelsea until 2032, prying him away won’t be easy. Unless Real Madrid are willing to splash the cash, a move looks unlikely—at least for now.
Will Madrid make a serious push for Fernandez? Or is this just another transfer rumour in an already buzzing market? Only time will tell.
