Chelsea's potential sale of Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid appears to be back on track, with the transfer expected to cost at least £120m. The Argentine midfielder's interest in the move to the Bernabeu has been a major factor in the rekindled talks.
Last quoted price by Chelsea for Fernandez was £120m, but personal terms have never been an issue, and he is reportedly keen on the move to Real Madrid. This could be another major Chelsea sale to Los Blancos this summer, following Marc Cucurella's recent transfer to the Spanish capital.
Chelsea's nightmare season, which saw them finish 10th in the Premier League table and miss out on European football and silverware, may have contributed to the expected exodus of big names from the club. Fernandez may not have always been the most consistent performer, but he is good enough to feel he can shine for a more competitive side.
The 25-year-old's departure could potentially upgrade Real Madrid's midfield, providing an alternative to players like Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. It remains to be seen if Chelsea will also lose other stars and struggle to bring in the caliber of player required to adequately replace them.
