The transfer future of Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has been the subject of intense speculation in recent times, with links to Real Madrid dominating the headlines.
Fernandez, an Argentina international, has been a key player for Chelsea but has faced a difficult 2025/26 campaign at Stamford Bridge, leading to speculation about his future.
Real Madrid's interest in Fernandez has been well-documented, with some sources suggesting that the club had been discussing the possibility of signing him this summer.
However, Real Madrid has now released a statement denying any interest in Fernandez, stating that the club has not made any effort to sign him and has no intention of undertaking such an operation.
The club's statement reads: "In light of statements that have appeared in recent days regarding an alleged interest from Real Madrid CF in the player Enzo Fernández, the club wishes to state that it has not made any effort, either direct or indirect, to sign the aforementioned player and, likewise, has no intention of undertaking such an operation."
The statement goes on to express Real Madrid's respect for Fernandez and Chelsea FC, and to deny any unfounded speculation about the club's interest in the player.
Real Madrid regrets that despite the clarity of the facts, information continues to be disseminated that does not correspond to reality, and that only contributes to generating confusion among fans and unnecessarily harming the entities and people involved.
In a separate development, Fernandez himself has spoken openly about wanting to live in Madrid in the future, but it remains to be seen whether this will have any impact on his transfer future.
Fernandez's comments about living in Madrid and being more comfortable in Spanish have been widely reported, but it is unclear whether he will ultimately join the club or remain at Chelsea.
