Enzo Fernández has once again found himself at the centre of attention in the transfer market. After a solid individual campaign with Chelsea and with the echoes of his performance at the 2022 World Cup still fresh in his mind, the Argentine midfielder seems determined to move on. Now, as reported by Defensa Central, the player has reportedly offered his services directly to Real Madrid. This revelation stirs the waters at Valdebebas just as Real Madrid face an inevitable midfield overhaul. The possible arrival of the Argentinian could fit in with the movements expected in the summer, with veteran departures already announced.
Enzo Fernandez Has Offered Himself To Real Madrid
Fernández has experienced an accelerated growth in just two years. He arrived at Chelsea from Benfica with a hefty price tag, but gradually earned his place. In the 2024/25 season he has played a pivotal role, directly involved in 20 goals in 43 games, a high figure for a midfielder. His attacking output and ability to control the tempo have attracted interest from a number of major clubs, but the Argentine would already have chosen Los Blancos as his preferred destination.
Real Madrid, for their part, know that the cost of the operation will not be low. Chelsea are asking for at least €80 million to open the door. That amount could be lowered if a sufficiently juicy proposal appears, although the Londoners have no urgency to sell. It all depends now on how much Florentino Perez is willing to spend to fill the gap left by Toni Kroos and the weight still carried by Modric at 39. The opportunity is there and the final decision will be in the hands of the club.
Will He Be A Good Signing For Los Blancos?
From a strategic point of view, Real Madrid must analyse the move patiently, but also with vision. Kroos is gone, Modric will fade soon and while Bellingham and Camavinga represent the present, a player with vertical vision, precise passing and leadership is still missing in the midfield. Fernandez offers that. His maturity at just 24 and his experience at both international and big club level make him a desirable profile.
Although €80 million sounds high, the market has shown that a player with immediate impact in the first team is not an expense, but an amortisable investment. Moreover, his competitive nature and ability to adapt to different tactics reinforce the idea that he can fit into plans of any coach who comes after Ancelotti. The club needs depth, and quality in the midfield. Enzo can offer both. If Real Madrid passes up this option, another European competitor will take it. And in a few years, they may regret not being quick. Betting on him now can avoid headaches in the long term.
