Enzo Fernández Gives Green Light to Real Madrid Transfer
Merengue club prepares €150 million bid as Xabi Alonso prioritizes Argentine star
Real Madrid has received the go-ahead from Enzo Fernández to initiate formal talks with Chelsea regarding a blockbuster summer transfer. According to reports from international outlets, the Argentine midfielder has already communicated his desire to join Xabi Alonso’s squad for the 2025/26 season.
Player keen to join Madrid’s midfield project
The 23-year-old is reportedly attracted by Real Madrid’s sporting project and the chance to play alongside elite midfielders such as Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, and Aurélien Tchouaméni. New head coach Xabi Alonso views Enzo as a critical piece in reconfiguring the team’s central core.
Despite Enzo’s interest, Chelsea remains reluctant to part ways with one of its most valuable assets. The Premier League club is expected to be firm in negotiations, given Fernández’s status as a starting midfielder and key contributor.
€150 million offer being prepared
In an effort to move talks forward, Real Madrid is preparing a formal offer of approximately €150 million. The club is considering financing the operation through potential departures of current players, including Rodrygo, Eduardo Camavinga, or Fran García, depending on market interest and financial fair play requirements.
The Spanish giants have been following Fernández since his time at River Plate, and after stints with Benfica, Chelsea, and the Argentine national team, he’s once again become a top transfer priority.
Alonso sees Enzo as a midfield anchor
Xabi Alonso has reportedly requested Enzo’s signing as a key tactical move, envisioning the Argentine partnering with Tchouaméni to give more freedom to attacking players like Bellingham or Arda Güler. The goal is to create a midfield unit with greater control, versatility, and creativity.
With the player’s green light already in hand, Real Madrid expects negotiations to intensify in the coming weeks. The outcome now depends on Chelsea’s willingness to engage and whether the offer matches the club’s valuation.
