Real Madrid is shifting its focus away from Cole Palmer, claiming that their new target is even more valuable. Florentino Perez has suggested that the Chelsea player would bring more diversity to Madrid’s midfield, while Chelsea is allegedly wasting his potential.
With this in mind, Real Madrid is planning to make a bold move for Chelsea standout Enzo Fernández instead.
According to reports, the La Liga club has prioritized signing the 24-year-old Argentine midfielder and is determined to push for his transfer during the winter window. Real Madrid’s interest in Fernández isn’t new, but now they are reportedly serious about securing him.
In order to make room for Fernández, Madrid is willing to offer up players who have not been performing well, and they are even considering a player swap deal. The club is reportedly prepared to send Aurélien Tchouaméni to Chelsea in exchange for Fernández, without any cash involved.
Tchouaméni, 24, is reportedly open to leaving due to tensions with manager Carlo Ancelotti, while Fernández, despite being important under Chelsea’s manager Enzo Maresca, could be tempted to leave after recent issues at Stamford Bridge.
Both players are seemingly open to a move, and the transfer saga may soon see further developments. The story’s progression will be closely watched by the media in Spain and England.
