Premier League superstar turns to super agent to make Real Madrid dream come true
Real Madrid’s pursuit of Enzo Fernandez appears to be gathering momentum, with fresh reports suggesting the Argentine midfielder’s camp is actively working to make a move to the Santiago Bernabeu a reality.
According to El Debate, the Chelsea star remains determined to join Real Madrid and is pushing for a transfer once his international commitments come to an end.
The midfielder is reportedly keen to wear the famous white shirt next season and believes the coming weeks could be decisive for his future.
The report claims that efforts are already underway to help bridge the gap between the two clubs and create a pathway towards an agreement.
While completing a deal of this magnitude will not be easy, Real Madrid continue to view Enzo as one of the leading candidates to strengthen their midfield for the future.
Enzo’s representatives are working
One of the most significant developments concerns the role being played by the player’s representatives.
According to the report, Enzo’s agent, Javier Pastore, has already held discussions with influential super-agent Jorge Mendes in an attempt to facilitate negotiations between Chelsea and Real Madrid.
The objective is to create the conditions necessary for both clubs to sit down and explore a possible agreement.
While the midfielder remains under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2030, there is growing belief that a transfer could represent the best solution for all parties involved, as his relationship with the Chelsea board has deteriorated.
What about the finances?
Despite all that, Chelsea remain in a strong contractual position and are expected to demand a huge fee before even considering negotiations.
Notably, Chelsea invested heavily when they signed Enzo from Benfica, paying around €121 million to secure his services.
According to the report, the London club are now seeking approximately €140 million if they are to sanction a sale.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are prepared to offer around €100 million plus performance-related bonuses, creating a considerable gap between the two valuations.
Furthermore, one possibility involves including a Real Madrid player as part of the deal in order to reduce the overall cash payment and bring negotiations closer to Chelsea’s demands.
At present, everything is just talk of the town rather than a reality, and Real Madrid are unlikely to engage in a transfer of this magnitude in a hush.

Real Madrid star Huijsen credits Mourinho for improved form in new season: ‘He supports me a lot’
Real Madrid will be looking to get back to winning ways in LaLiga as they take on Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
The club are coming on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis last weekend but did secure a narrow win over Inter Milan in the midweek Champions League fixture.
Heading into this game, Dean Huijsen, who has been showing a lot of promise in these early parts of the season, spoke to the club’s official media about the match ahead and how Real Madrid have been coping with the pressure early on, among other things.
Huijsen on Rayo and his defensive duties
The young centre-back was fully aware of the threat posed by Rayo and praised the opposition.
“We know that Rayo is a good team, and it’s a tough team to face, and we must give our all as we do in all matches to secure the three points, that’s the only thing that matters, and for the Bernabeu to be with us and for us all to be united,” he said.
He also detailed the defensive demands placed on him by the coaching staff led by Jose Mourinho.
“Well, what every coach asks of you: ferocity, intercepting balls, and winning one-on-one duels. He supports me a lot, and I think this helps me greatly, and defending together as a team,” he said.
On the team’s preparations for the fixture, Huijsen offered an insight into their training routine.
“We’re working on some tactics related to the opponent. And well, after that it depends on the day; we might play a mini-match among ourselves or not,” he added.
Huijsen on Mourinho and his fine form
The Spaniard was quick to credit Mourinho, with whom he previously worked at Roma, for his development and current level.
“We’ve known each other for a while, even though we spent a relatively short time together in Rome. He gave me the opportunity to make the real leap into professional football, and I’ll always be grateful to him for that,” Huijsen said.
Reflecting on his own performances, the defender was in confident mood, once again pointing to the influence of his coach and teammates.
“I think I’m in good shape. Well, I think I’m delivering a good level, and I believe that’s thanks to the coach too, as he keeps track of me and takes great care of me.”
“Well, I’m also doing my very best, and I think the teammates are supporting me too, and this is the perfect equation,” he added.
Finally, Huijsen explained how he manages his recovery amid a congested schedule.
“There are a lot of matches, so we need to recover well and stay focused on football, then you have to sleep well. And yes, on the days after the match, I also take a cold shower and a hot shower to recover better,” he concluded.
