Real Madrid have reportedly added Enzo Fernández to a four-man shortlist of midfield targets as the club continues to reshape its squad under newly appointed manager José Mourinho.
Softfootball understands that the Chelsea midfielder is highly regarded within the club’s recruitment plans, although any potential move could depend on departures from the current squad, including the possible exit of Dani Ceballos.
Real Madrid are carefully assessing their midfield options before making a final decision on further reinforcements.
Fernández is believed to be open to the prospect of joining the Spanish giants, but no formal club-to-club negotiations have taken place with Chelsea.
The Premier League side are understood to value the Argentine international at around £120 million, making any deal a significant financial undertaking.
The situation also affects the future of young midfielder Nico Paz. Real Madrid are reportedly considering allowing the talented prospect to remain on loan at Como for another season while the club finalizes its plans for the midfield department.
Mourinho’s squad overhaul has already gathered momentum with the arrivals of players such as Marc Cucurella and Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese coach is eager to build a balanced team capable of competing for major honours both domestically and in Europe.
While Fernández remains only one of several options under consideration, his technical quality, work rate, and experience at the highest level make him an attractive candidate as Real Madrid continue planning for the future.
