As Chelsea fans, we’ve watched the ups and downs of Enzo Fernandez’s journey since his record-breaking arrival from Benfica nearly two years ago. Despite the Argentine’s undeniable talent and flashes of brilliance, his Stamford Bridge career has yet to reach the heights many of us anticipated when he was signed for £106.8 million.

Now, report from Fichajes has suggested that Chelsea could part ways with the 23-year-old midfielder if an offer worth €120million is received, with Real Madrid reportedly interested in the midfielder. It’s a significant figure, one that reflects not just Enzo’s potential but also the club’s desire to recoup their investment.

While Fernandez’s tally of seven goals and 10 assists in 77 appearances shows he’s had an impact, the Argentine has struggled to assert consistent dominance in the midfield. His game time has been further limited since the return of Romeo Lavia, who has formed a strong partnership with Moises Caicedo in Mauricio Pochettino’s midfield setup.

Real Madrid’s interest highlights the quality that Fernandez possesses, and other top European clubs, including Barcelona and Inter Milan, have reportedly been monitoring his situation as well. Florentino Perez sees the 2022 World Cup winner as an attractive addition to his squad, though it remains unclear whether Los Blancos are willing to meet Chelsea’s asking price.

With a contract running until 2032, Chelsea hold all the cards. However, if Enzo continues to find himself sidelined, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he seeks a move away from west London in search of regular first-team football.

For us Blues fans, the thought of losing such a talented player is bittersweet. But as always, the club must balance ambition with pragmatism to build a squad capable of reclaiming glory. Only time will tell if this is the right decision for both Enzo and Chelsea.
