Real Madrid in dreamland as top source reveals £107m Chelsea star could ‘leave’ amid SIX Bernabeu exits
Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez
Real Madrid will get the chance to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to a reliable journalist, as Los Blancos president Florentino Perez plans to get rid of six players from Estadio Bernabeu at the end of the season.
Fernandez is one of the best midfielders in the world and has been a reliable figure at Chelsea since his £107million (€124m, $142.8m) move from Benfica in February 2023.
The 25-year-old midfielder has racked up 159 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 28 goals and providing 29 assists in the process.
Fernandez is one of the first names on Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior’s teamsheet and is under contract at the Premier League club until 2032, but with Real Madrid keen on him, there is a very distinct possibility that he could leave the Blues at the end of the season.
Back on January 18, 2026, TEAMtalk reported that Chelsea are open to selling Fernandez to Real Madrid in the summer of 2026.
Journalist Dean Jones told TEAMtalk at the time: “Real Madrid sources say the club have been given indications that Chelsea would be willing to sell Enzo Fernandez at the right price.
“The midfielder’s future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain beyond this season, and Madrid have been monitoring the situation closely.
“While some Chelsea players are considered untouchable, it is understood that the Argentina international is not entirely off-limits.
“Sources suggest that initial exploratory talks have hinted, via intermediaries, that Chelsea could become open to a summer deal if their valuation is met.
“The player joined Chelsea for £106.8million – so any transfer is going to become one of the most significant fees ever seen in La Liga.”
Top Argentine journalist Gaston Edul, who has 1.1million followers on X, has now claimed that there are chances that Fernandez could leave Chelsea, which will come as music to the ears of Madrid.
Edul is one of the most reliable journalists out there and has strong connections with Argentine players.
The TyC Sports journalist wrote on X at 11:19pm on March 15, 2026: “Enzo Fernandez has chances of leaving Chelsea in the next European summer transfer window.”
WinWin has also reported that Fernandez ‘is open to leaving Chelsea’ and has claimed interest in him from Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and two clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
It is hard to see Fernandez move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career, while PSG are not in a pressing need for a new midfielder.
Madrid are desperate to sign a midfielder who can control the tempo of the game, and Fernandez would be perfect for Los Blancos.
