Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is a massive admirer of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, according to journalist Alex Crook (h/t Madrid Xtra), sparking intense speculation over a potential blockbuster summer transfer.
The influential Los Blancos chief is highly enamoured with the Argentine international’s elite profile, with the journalist mentioning this situation as one to “keep an eye” on ahead of the summer transfer window.

But his interest has intensified as the Merengues look to strengthen their midfield after what was yet another underwhelming campaign.
The club hierarchy views the 25-year-old World Cup winner as the ideal technical engine to dictate play at the Santiago Bernabeu.
A complicated operation
While the president’s immense interest makes Real Madrid a concrete threat, pryng Fernandez away from Stamford Bridge presents a monumental financial and structural hurdle.
Despite having had some issues with the Argentine this season, Chelsea consider the midfielder an integral part of their long-term core and are under no immediate economic pressure to sell.

Furthermore, the English club would undoubtedly demand an astronomical transfer package to even consider opening negotiations for their prized asset, with reports hinting at a €120 million fee.
However, with Perez’s proven track record of securing his absolute priority targets, the Spanish capital giants are expected to closely monitor the player’s situation in London as the summer window approaches.
