Chelsea’s High Asking Price Deters Real Madrid from Pursuing Enzo Fernandez

Real Madrid is getting ready for the upcoming transfer window.

Details: Defensa Central reports that Chelsea‘s 25-year-old midfielder Enzo Fernandez is on Real Madrid’s radar.

The club sent scouts to watch Fernandez during Chelsea’s match against Liverpool to evaluate his playing style in detail.

A major hurdle for a possible transfer is Chelsea’s asking price of €130 million, which Real Madrid finds high.

No final decision has been made about a potential transfer yet, as Real’s scouts continue to keep an eye on Fernandez before the transfer window opens.

Fernandez joined Chelsea from Benfica in 2023 for €121 million. He has played 125 matches for Chelsea, scoring 19 goals and providing 24 assists. His contract with Chelsea runs until 2032, and Transfermarkt estimates his value at €75 million.

Reminder: Cole Palmer has trademarked his signature celebration.
