Real Madrid opens talks for Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez

Real Madrid is seriously considering signing 25-year-old Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez. Reports suggest that the player's agent has already held preliminary discussions with representatives of Real Madrid, and the player is keen on joining the Spanish giants.

However, Chelsea is not prepared to let their key player leave for anything less than 120 million pounds, which is approximately 140 million euros. The Argentine's contract runs until 2032, giving the London club a strong position in potential negotiations.

This matters because Real Madrid is currently weighing their options for strengthening the midfield. The club's leadership is deliberating between signing a classic defensive midfielder like Rodri from Manchester City or opting for the more versatile profile offered by Fernandez.

Throughout the current season, the midfielder has shown significant offensive output, featuring in 54 matches with 15 goals and 7 assists to his name.
