Premier League
Real Madrid has intensified its interest in Real Madrid in midfielder Enzo Fernández, the Argentine midfielder from Chelsea, with the intention of strengthening its midfield.
Xabi Alonso sees Fernández as a key piece for his project, seeking his incorporation despite the difficulties in the negotiation.
Xabi Alonso and his vision for the midfield
Since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu bench, Xabi Alonso has implemented a style of play based on possession and ball control. The departure of figures like Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos has left a gap in the midfield that Alonso aims to fill with quality players and vision for the game. In this context, Enzo Fernández emerges as the ideal candidate to fill that role.
Enzo Fernández's contract situation
Enzo Fernández, 24, arrived at Chelsea in January 2023 for a record fee of £106.7 million. Currently, his contract with the Blues extends until 2032, giving the London club a strong position in any negotiation.
Despite his importance in the team, Chelsea would be willing to consider an offer close to £100 million, although they are not expected to accept less than that amount.
Real Madrid's interest and obstacles in the negotiation
Real Madrid has closely monitored Fernández's evolution since his time at Benfica. However, the competition for his signing is fierce. Teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham have also shown interest in the Argentine midfielder.
Furthermore, Chelsea has publicly expressed its desire to retain Fernández, further complicating the aspirations of the Spanish club.

Enzo Fernández's future
Despite the rumors and the interest from clubs like Real Madrid, Enzo Fernández has expressed his satisfaction at Chelsea and his intention to continue at the club. His performance in the 2025/26 season has been outstanding, playing in a more offensive position under the guidance of Enzo Maresca. However, the allure of playing for a club like Real Madrid could influence his future decision.
Real Madrid's interest in Enzo Fernández reflects Xabi Alonso's ambition to build a competitive team in midfield. Nevertheless, the economic difficulties and the competition for the signing of the Argentine player present significant challenges.
It will be crucial to observe how this situation evolves in the coming months and if Real Madrid manages to achieve its goal of incorporating Fernández into its squad.
