Real Madrid have their eyes set on Chelsea star Enzo Fernández to improve their midfield.
This surprise claim is from D Sports, who state the La Liga side are determined to sign the 24-year-old.
The Champions League winners are looking to carry out signings in the winter market and have the Chelsea player on their agenda.
Real Madrid’s interest in Fernández isn’t new as they have previously been linked to him. This time, the report states, Los Blancos plan to ‘go all out’ to try and secure his services.
The Spanish giants won’t hold back to offload underperforming players to make room for the Argentina international. They are also considering including one of them as part of the deal for the former Benfica man.
D Sports state Real Madrid officials are planning to offer Aurélien Tchouameni to Chelsea in return for the World Cup winner. They add it’ll be a ‘direct exchange’, meaning no cash will be involved as part of the deal.
The report states the 24-year-old France international is looking for an exit following a disagreement with Carlo Ancelotti. Fernández, on the other hand, is a key player for Enzo Maresca. Despite this, he could consider leaving the Blues due to ‘recent controversies’.
In short, the two players would be open to a move and ‘key hours are coming in the transfer market’, indicating there could be developments.
It’ll be interesting to see how the Spanish and English press react to this report.
