Real Madrid continue to plan for the future despite already possessing one of the strongest squads in European football.
Midfield remains a particular area of focus since Jose Mourinho took over the charge at Santiago Bernabeu following a couple of trophyless seasons.
The Los Blancos have already signed Bernardo Silva and now, they have made a massive progress in their pursuit of signing Enzo Fernandez.
According to Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Real Madrid have reached an agreement in principle with Enzo Fernandez over a contract that would run until 2032.
The report claims Fernandez is eager to join the Spanish giants and is actively pushing for the move behind the scenes.
Personal terms are no longer viewed as an obstacle, leaving negotiations between the two clubs as the main hurdle.
Real Madrid are now reportedly preparing a significant offer in an attempt to open formal talks with Chelsea.
The Argentine international remains one of the most highly-rated midfielders in world football.
Real Madrid view him as an ideal addition to their young core and believe he can play a major role in the next phase of the club’s project.
However, securing his signature will not be easy. Chelsea remain in a strong negotiating position because Fernandez remains under contract until 2032.
Reports suggest Chelsea’s internal valuation comfortably exceeds the £100 million mark.
As a result, Real Madrid will need to present a major financial package if they want to convince the London club to negotiate.
