Chelsea have made a massive call on the future of Enzo Fernandez. Recently, Transfer News Live reported that the Argentine has offered himself to Real Madrid.

Also, according to Caught Offside, Real Madrid are showing interest in the Chelsea midfielder. Now, the Los Blancos know the price they have to pay to sign him.

Madrid are looking for a midfielder who can control the tempo of the game. That is why they will be looking to add at least one midfielder.

Already, names like Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton, Vitinha, and Alexis Mac Allister have joined their list of targets. Also, Enzo Fernandez is one of their probable targets.

During his tenure, Xabi Alonso constantly mentioned the need for a midfielder to control the game. But after losing his dressing room, his position became untenable at the club.

So, the Los Blancos replaced him with another former Real Madrid player, Alvaro Arbeloa. Now, Arbeloa has also identified the need for a midfielder.

That is why Florentino Perez will be looking to sign one next summer. And with Enzo Fernandez expressing his wish to join them, the Los Blancos will target him.

However, Fernandez has a contract with Chelsea until 2032. That is why the Blues will be in a strong position during the negotiation.

Now, they have already set the asking price for the midfielder. Caught Offside has reported that the Blues will be asking for a fee of around €100 million.

Chelsea broke the British transfer record to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for €121 million. So, they will be looking to ask a fee in the same region.

This season, the Argentine is in great form. In 35 appearances this season in all competitions, the midfielder has scored 11 goals and assisted 4 times.

So, Chelsea will be asking for a massive fee. Thus, it will be interesting to see whether Real Madrid will be ready to pay that amount or not.
