Chelsea are set to have a busy summer, and that will be as much about outgoing as incoming players.

The top saga that needs to be sorted is Enzo Fernandez. The chatter about the Argentine’s future began long before the season ended with him making eyes at Real Madrid. Now the campaign has ended we expect that to only intensify.

Enzo Fernandez lined up for move by Real Madrid

Rumour site TeamTalk claims that Madrid are ready to make moves to sign Enzo up:

“TEAMtalk understands Madrid believe they now have a clear understanding of the financial structure required to tempt Chelsea into negotiations,” they write.

They also claim that incoming Madrid manager Jose Mourinho “is understood to be a huge admirer of Fernandez and has made it clear he would welcome the opportunity to build his midfield around the Chelsea captain.”

It’s all falling into place – it’s just a question of how much money Chelsea ask for and if Madrid can match that.
