Chelsea midfielder dreams of a move to Real Madrid but no negotiations yet
As we approach the tail end of the season, Real Madrid may have already started preparing for the 2026/27 campaign.
One of the priorities for Los Blancos for the new season will be the addition of a new midfielder, as the club look to level up their ranks in the middle of the park.
Real Madrid have been closely linked with moves for players such as Adam Wharton, Rodri and Vitinha. However, the latest player to be linked with a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu is Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez dreams of Real Madrid move
According to AS, Enzo Fernandez is dreaming of a move to Real Madrid after having spent quite some time at Chelsea.
Regarded as one of Argentina’s finest midfielders, Fernandez is a proactive midfielder who is known for his agility and marauding runs into the final third. He has already been involved in 18 goals for Chelsea this season.
But with Chelsea struggling with form, Fernandez’s future has come into question. While the report has stated that PSG are among the clubs interested in his services, the player’s priority is to join Real Madrid.
No negotiations yet
In his latest transfer news update video, Fabrizio Romano has acknowledged the recent rumours linking Real Madrid with a move for Enzo.
However, the Italian transfer expert has clarified that there are zero talks or negotiations between Real Madrid and Chelsea regarding Enzo Fernandez at this moment.
The player is focused on Chelsea, and Real Madrid has not yet made a final decision on which specific midfielder they will target for the summer.
This was confirmed by the player himself, as he broke silence on his future amid reports of a move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mourinho considering starting 23-year-old Real Madrid ace against Villarreal – report
After impressing during the international break, Eduardo Camavinga has a major opportunity to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield rotation.
Indeed, according to Defensa Central, Jose Mourinho is considering starting the Frenchman against Villarreal, with injuries and doubts over several players limiting his options.
Real Madrid cannot afford to drop points against Villarreal if they want to remain in the title race. However, Mourinho has issues to deal with in the squad, which could lead him to turn to Camavinga for a crucial role.
Camavinga could replace Tchouameni in midfield
The 23-year-old star could line up as the defensive midfielder in the double pivot, with Bernardo Silva or Arda Guler alongside him, and will be tasked with providing balance in midfield.
Real Madrid face Villarreal with several problems in central defence. Ibrahima Konate is expected to be a late call, leading Mourinho to consider moving Aurelien Tchouameni into defence alongside Antonio Rudiger.
Meanwhile, Federico Valverde could also struggle to be ready after the ankle injury he sustained in the derby before the international break.
The Uruguayan has continued to work individually away from the group and might return to group training tomorrow. Even then, his readiness to start remains in question.
That would leave a place open in midfield, with Camavinga in line to fill in.
Camavinga impressed during the international break
Camavinga has started only one match this season, the defeat against Real Betis.
Despite his limited opportunities, Mourinho is keen to bring the Frenchman back into the fold after he impressed for France during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane called the Real Madrid star up for his first France squad, and the midfielder performed well during the break.
That has given Mourinho and Real Madrid reason to be optimistic about using him against Villarreal, with the hope that he can move closer to the level he showed after first arriving at the club.
Therefore, the Villarreal match could represent an important test for Camavinga and a chance for the Frenchman to show that he can provide the balance Real Madrid need in midfield.
