Chelsea sets £120m price tag on Enzo Fernandez as Real Madrid interest grows

Chelsea has informed Real Madrid that they will only sell midfielder Enzo Fernandez for £120 million, according to a report by Don Silas. The Blues paid Benfica £106.8 million for the Argentine World Cup winner in 2023 and aim to make a profit on the 25-year-old if he leaves this summer. Fernandez has openly expressed a desire to live in Madrid, prompting Chelsea to ban him for two games in April after his comments fueled transfer speculation. Real Madrid’s interest is described as genuine by The Daily Mail, with the club reportedly ready to meet Chelsea’s valuation. The Premier League side insists that any departure must come with an offer meeting or exceeding the £120 million figure, otherwise Fernandez remains at Stamford Bridge. This development places Fernandez at the center of one of the summer’s most talked-about transfer sagas, with Chelsea looking to recoup their investment while strengthening their financial position. For Real Madrid, securing Fernandez would add a proven midfield option as they continue to rebuild after recent departures. Will Chelsea hold firm on their £120m demand, forcing Fernandez to stay, or will Real Madrid meet the price and lure the midfielder to Spain?
