Florentino defines Real Madrid's next signing

The Real Madrid transfer market remains hot, and Florentino Pérez has already defined the next big target for the Merengue squad: Enzo Fernández, Argentine midfielder from Chelsea and an old desire of the Merengue club.

The board of directors of the Concha Espina entity does not stop its strategic movements to incorporate players of immediate performance in their midfield. At the explicit request of their new technical director, the Merengue technical secretariat seeks to take a definitive qualitative leap with a player of hierarchy.

The Portuguese strategist of the white squad is looking for an organizing profile with a differential talent capable of dominating the rhythm of the matches. After analyzing various alternatives with those in charge of the scouting department, the number one priority is completely defined in the offices of Chamartín. The great desire to take over the creative reins of the team currently plays in the English league.

Enzo Fernández, the next big target of Real Madrid

The great obsession of the Spanish capital club has a name and surname in the British Isles. The Argentine international midfielder from Chelsea, Enzo Fernández, is chosen by the Whites to become the new compass of the Santiago Bernabéu. The talented playmaker made clear his desire for a change of scenery last March 30, triggering a real internal storm in London.

The Argentine midfielder publicly expressed his tremendous affinity for the customs and life in the Spanish capital, words that caused unease in Stamford Bridge. His subsequent appearance in the stands of the Mutua Madrid Open tennis tournament only fueled rumors about his landing. His agent, former footballer Javier Pastore, firsthand manages the strong Madridista interest in completing a historic transfer this summer market.

The board led by Florentino Pérez aims to execute a lightning operation similar to the one that recently allowed the signing of Marc Cucurella. However, negotiations with the Blues' leadership are not an easy path due to high financial demands. The London club will not facilitate the departure of their star, valuing the operation at a minimum of 120 million euros.

This financial amount symmetrically coincides with the sum that Stamford Bridge's squad originally paid to Benfica in the winter market of 2023. Now, after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, the stage is set for a change of scenery. Chelsea's manager, Xabi Alonso, does not strongly oppose a sale, as he prioritizes having professionals fully committed to the London cause.

José Mourinho's Plan B if Enzo Fernández does not arrive

In case negotiations with the British side get stuck due to the high price, Real Madrid has a fully guaranteed plan B. The technical secretariat's radar carefully monitors the profile of Mateus Fernandes, a midfielder from West Ham United known for his deployments. The young Portuguese player, only 21 years old, excels in English football due to his associative precision and his presence in the opponent's area.

The qualities of this gem from the Hammers fit perfectly in the search for resources capable of unlocking low and very rigid defensive blocks. The West Ham midfielder maintains an excellent reputation in the Premier League despite his team's painful relegation this season. Several British clubs are strongly bidding for his services, but a direct call from his compatriot could change the player's destiny.

The range of options in the Concha Espina offices remains completely open for the upcoming weeks of negotiations. In the last hours of this summer period, the profile of Ayyoub Bouaddi, the young revelation from Lille, has burst onto the scene with tremendous force. The sports management will carefully weigh each of the economic variables before making the final decision in the transfer market.

The priority of the White House remains focused on the Argentine player from Chelsea, who is considered essential for the midfield. The top leadership will accelerate formal talks with English emissaries to try to lower the initial demands of Stamford Bridge. Real Madrid trusts that the player's own desire will be the determining factor in successfully closing the midfield of their new and exciting sports project.
