Alonso Sticks to Signing Chelsea Star
The website "Fichajes" reported that Spanish coach Xabi Alonso is looking to strengthen Real Madrid's midfield by signing Argentine star Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea to become the main organizer of the team.
The same source clarified that Alonso considers Fernandez a key player for his technical project and is working to complete the deal despite financial challenges and strong competition for the player, especially after the departure of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, which left a gap in the midfield that needs high-quality players with great vision of play.
Fernandez is 24 years old and joined Chelsea in January 2023 for £106.7 million, with his contract lasting until 2032, giving Chelsea a strong position in any negotiations. The site indicated that Chelsea might consider an offer of around £100 million, but it is unlikely to accept any offer lower than that.
The report noted that Real Madrid has been following the player since his time at Benfica; however, the competition to sign him is fierce, with interest from clubs like Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham, in addition to Chelsea's desire to retain the player.
The site confirmed that Fernandez is happy at Chelsea and wishes to stay, but the opportunity to play for Real Madrid could influence his final decision, making it crucial to monitor the developments of the deal in the coming months to see if the Spanish club can sign him and strengthen its midfield under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.
