"Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched figures of the summer transfer window in 2026, with interest growing from across Europe's elite. Despite being under contract at Chelsea until 2032, the Argentine's future is far from straightforward, as sporting ambition, financial reality, and outside interest begin to converge. Fernandez remains a central figure at Stamford Bridge, both in terms of on-pitch influence and long-term planning."
"Much of Madrid's thinking is linked to the long-term outlook surrounding Jude Bellingham. Should Bellingham move on at the end of the season, a scenario Madrid are not actively planning for but cannot ignore, Fernandez is seen as a profile capable of stepping into a leadership role at the Bernabeu. That said, Madrid's midfield is currently well stocked, and sources close to the club suggest there is no urgency to act."
Enzo Fernández is under contract at Chelsea until 2032 and has been influential with 11 goals and four assists this season. He won the World Cup and anchors Chelsea’s midfield on-pitch and in long-term planning. Interest from Europe’s elite is growing ahead of the 2026 summer transfer window. Real Madrid view him as a possible successor if Jude Bellingham departs, though Madrid currently have midfield depth and no urgency. Paris Saint-Germain see Fernández as a flagship signing and have the financial capacity to meet Chelsea’s valuation. Chelsea publicly insist on building around Fernández, but financial realities leave his future uncertain.
