Softfootball can confirm Real Madrid have officially denied reports linking the club with a move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández.
In a strongly-worded statement, the Spanish giants made it clear they have “no intention” of signing the Argentina international, dismissing recent speculation surrounding a potential transfer to the Santiago Bernabéu.
However, Real Madrid have now categorically rejected those claims.
The club’s official statement read:
“In light of the reports and statements that have appeared in recent days regarding an alleged interest from Real Madrid CF in the player Enzo Fernández, the club wishes to state that it has not made any effort, either direct or indirect, to sign the aforementioned player and, likewise, has no intention of undertaking such an operation.
Real Madrid wishes to express its utmost respect for Enzo Fernández, a great footballer whose career and quality are widely known, as well as for Chelsea FC, a club with which it maintains an excellent institutional relationship.
Precisely because of the respect that an entity like Chelsea FC deserves and because of the principles of institutional loyalty that have always governed the actions of Real Madrid, the club considers it necessary to categorically deny speculations that are unfounded and do not correspond to reality.
Real Madrid regrets that, despite the clarity of the facts and the lack of any action on the part of the club, information continues to be disseminated that does not correspond to reality and that only contributes to generating confusion among fans and unnecessarily harming the entities and people involved.
The 25-year-old, who is currently representing Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, had been heavily linked with Real Madrid in recent weeks, while previous reports suggested he would be open to a move to the Spanish capital.
