Real Madrid is reportedly targeting Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez as a potential replacement for veteran playmaker Luka Modric, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.
According to sources close to the Spanish giants, Fernandez has emerged as a key candidate in Los Blancos’ midfield revamp, with club officials impressed by his composure, vision, and work rate.
The Argentine World Cup winner has also fueled speculation by expressing admiration for Real Madrid in recent interviews—comments that have not gone unnoticed at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Luka Modric, 38, is nearing the twilight of his illustrious career, and Madrid are seeking a long-term successor who can maintain their tradition of world-class midfield dominance. Fernandez, 23, joined Chelsea from Benfica in a British record transfer in January 2023 but has endured a turbulent time amid the Blues’ inconsistent form.
Real Madrid is expected to make significant moves in the upcoming transfer window, with midfield reinforcements high on the agenda. While no official bid has been tabled, interest in Fernandez underlines the club’s intent to secure elite talent ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
