Enzo Fernández has become the top priority in the latest news and rumors from Real Madrid to strengthen the midfield for the upcoming season. The white club has decided to speed up the signing of the Argentine midfielder from Chelsea after finding that other market alternatives have become too complicated.

The 25-year-old player fits the profile that José Mourinho has requested since his arrival: experience, character, trajectory, and the ability to organize the team with the ball. At the Bernabéu, they see him as a ready piece to compete from day one in LaLiga.

Enzo Fernández, Mourinho's top request

According to AS, the interest in Enzo Fernández is not new, but it has now become an absolute priority. Mourinho believes that the Argentine possesses qualities that are rare in the market: he can play as a midfielder, as a double pivot, and also frequently reach the opponent's area.

The Portuguese coach wants an experienced midfielder to balance a squad full of young talent. Therefore, options like Mateus Fernandes, who prefers to develop at Tottenham, or Ayyoub Bouaddi, still too young to take on that responsibility, have lost strength in the planning.

Real Madrid has already initiated initial contacts to gauge Chelsea's stance. The key, as hinted in the operation's circle, is that the player would be willing to do everything possible to push the transfer forward.

Chelsea won't let go of Enzo Fernández cheaply

The major obstacle is evident: Chelsea has no need to give away one of their most valuable players. The London club paid €121 million for Enzo Fernández in January 2023, and his contract runs until 2032, placing the Blues in a very strong negotiating position.

Nevertheless, the player's desire could change the scenario. Enzo has previously hinted at his fondness for Madrid and Spanish life, statements that didn't sit well at Stamford Bridge and even triggered an internal reaction from the club.

This season, the Argentine has once again demonstrated his competitive weight. In the Premier League, he has already amassed 118 matches, 19 goals, and 15 assists, figures not common for a midfielder of his profile. His offensive productivity has increased, reinforcing Mourinho's idea.

A three-figure deal to dominate LaLiga again

The operation inevitably points towards a three-digit figure. Real Madrid knows it will have to surpass €100 million to convince Chelsea, especially after the English club has eased some of its financial burdens with the sale of Marc Cucurella.

Real Madrid is also looking for a center-back, another of Mourinho's requests, but the immediate priority is to secure the midfielder signing. The idea is to avoid prolonging the negotiation too much to prevent other clubs from entering the bidding war.

Enzo Fernández wants to wear white

The player's desire could be decisive. Enzo Fernández understands that Real Madrid represents a significant sporting leap and an opportunity hard to decline at this stage of his football maturity.

Chelsea will try to resist, yet sustained pressure from the Argentine could make his stay uncomfortable in London. Meanwhile, the Bernabéu is gearing up for an ambitious move to strengthen its midfield.

If the signing materializes, Enzo Fernández would land in LaLiga as one of the major summer moves. Mourinho has already pinpointed his choice, and now Real Madrid must turn that desire into a real market operation.
