Enzo Fernandez hints at Chelsea exit and some already place him at Real Madrid

S ince the end of 2025, Enzo Fernandez's name has continued to be linked with Real Madrid. It has become customary to hear the news that he will leave Chelsea in the next semester and that his destination will be the Spanish giants.

First it was in the English press where the information was made public. Then it was the Spanish press. Now it is the Argentine press. It is no small thing that in three countries the version is growing that the player will wear white after the World Cup.

On this occasion, journalists Gaston Edul and Renzo Pantich reiterate on TyC Sports that Fernandez is getting closer and closer to leaving the Premier League to go to La Liga in a move that would also benefit River Plate. It is mentioned that Enzo is currently the Argentine national team player with the best level.

The English club wants to recoup its €120 million investment and Real Madrid would be willing to pay it, but would have to sell. River would pocket around €5 million

Likewise, as European media have previously reported, the player wants to leave England for personal reasons and for the benefit of his family.

Other factors to desire Real Madrid

Incredibly, the weather in England is a factor to consider for the change. The cold, rain and lack of sunshine are something that weighs on Enzo, who is used to warmer temperatures and less hostile environments in that sense.

Last February, journalist Eduardo Inda pointed out that Fernandez wants to follow the example of Julian Alvarez, his friend. Having seen that 'La Araña' was able to reinvent his life for the better in Madrid with his arrival at Los Colchoneros, Enzo wants the same. On the one hand, Alvarez bet on football because he would have less activity at Manchester City with Erling Haaland in his prime. On the other hand, his privacy and personal condition were benefited in a city that offers him what most resembles his interests and satisfactions.

Enzo Fernandez and his market value

The Argentine is valued at 140 million euros. After winning the World Cup title at Qatar 2022, the midfielder was signed for 121 million euros, which Chelsea paid Benfica for his transfer. If Real Madrid were to go for him, it would be the most expensive signing in the club's history.
