The City case puts Enzo Fernández on Real Madrid's radar

Real Madrid has reactivated its interest in signing Enzo Fernández, the Argentine midfielder from Manchester City. The upcoming Real Madrid transfer market will focus on strengthening its midfield with a top-level player.

The board at Chamartín sees the Argentine international as a top priority due to the scenario of a massive points deduction that would relegate Manchester City to the Championship following the confirmation of 115 financial irregularity charges by the independent commission.

José Mourinho's Request for Real Madrid's Midfield and the Player's Desire

The 25-year-old midfielder is a specific request from coach José Mourinho, who demanded the arrival of a pure playmaker during the last summer transfer window. The player has expressed his intention to settle in the Spanish capital, placing Real Madrid in a favorable position to enter negotiations if the disciplinary resolution forces English clubs to sell key players.

Informative sources from the Daily Mail confirm that the most likely sanction against the British club involves a significant points deduction that would lead to relegation for at least one full season.

Manchester City's Restructuring Benefiting Real Madrid's Operation

The loss of sporting status in the Premier League would compel Manchester City's leadership to part ways with their most valuable assets to balance their budget. Despite Enzo Maresca's team starting the season with 7 straight wins, legal uncertainties surrounding the owners, led by Sheikh Mansour, would hasten the midfielder's move to LaLiga.

Real Madrid's technical secretariat believes this situation decreases the seller's financial demands to figures feasible for the Valdebebas treasury. The Madrid sports management analysts will monitor the procedural deadlines of the appeal filed in British courts during November and December 2026.

If the independent commission confirms the relegation penalty to the Championship early next year, Real Madrid will make the first offer for Enzo Fernández to complete his transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window.
