(DDM) – Real Madrid have reportedly submitted a bold proposal to Chelsea aimed at securing Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez.
DDM gathered that the Spanish giants are prepared to offer both cash and a high-profile player in an attempt to tempt the Premier League side.
The deal reportedly includes around €60 million in addition to French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, considered a valuable asset to bridge negotiations.
Enzo Fernandez remains one of Real Madrid’s top targets ahead of the 2026 season due to his influence and versatility in midfield.
Despite being central to Chelsea’s squad, the 25-year-old has repeatedly been linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu.
Madrid view him as a long-term solution to strengthen the heart of their midfield.
Reports from Spain indicate that the offer is part of Madrid’s renewed pursuit after failing to sign Fernandez earlier in his career.
Chelsea, however, are reportedly unmoved by the initial proposal and demand a stronger offer reflecting his importance to the team.
The Premier League club recently won the Club World Cup, further reducing the appetite to part with one of their key players.
Fernandez is still under contract at Chelsea for more than six years, with speculation suggesting he may extend on improved terms.
Sources say the midfielder is committed to Chelsea’s long-term project and could remain a cornerstone of the squad.
Chelsea’s head coach has praised Fernandez’s impact, noting his ability to play multiple midfield roles.
He described Fernandez as a rare talent capable of performing as a deep-lying playmaker, box-to-box midfielder, or advanced creator.
Real Madrid hope the combination of cash and Camavinga will persuade Chelsea to reconsider, but there has been no indication of movement.
Analysts note that any deal for Fernandez would require careful negotiation given his long-term value and tactical importance.
For now, Chelsea appear determined to resist Real Madrid’s advances and retain the Argentine for the upcoming season.
Observers say the saga highlights the growing market value of versatile midfielders in European football.
Fans continue to watch closely as speculation grows, but Chelsea’s stance suggests Fernandez will remain at Stamford Bridge.
Madrid may return with improved terms, but the Premier League club remains firm on protecting their key assets.
The outcome of the potential deal will likely influence future negotiations for high-profile midfielders across Europe.
The football world continues to monitor developments closely as both clubs navigate a complex transfer market.
