"Beautiful city" - Chelsea star drops major hint he'd like transfer to major European capital | OneFootball

Chelsea central midfielder Enzo Fernandez has hinted he’d welcome a transfer to Real Madrid as he admitted he’d love to live in the Spanish capital.

The Argentina international has been linked several times with a move away from Chelsea recently, with the player himself playing some part in fuelling that speculation.

See below for his latest comments in a video interview with Spider CARP as he confessed to being a big fan of Madrid, which he says reminds him of Buenos Aires, where the 25-year-old was born…

“I’d like to live in Madrid. It’s a beautiful city, reminds me of Buenos Aires,” Fernandez said.

Enzo Fernandez to leave Chelsea?

Here’s a summary of some of the recent Fernandez stories that suggest his Chelsea future is in major doubt this summer:

How important is Enzo Fernandez for Chelsea?

Fernandez cost huge money to sign from Benfica back in 2023, with BBC Sport reporting at the time that his transfer fee was £107m.

It’s hard to live up to that kind of price tag, but Fernandez has mostly performed well for Chelsea, and links with other big clubs show just how highly he’s regarded in the game.

The South American has eight goals and three assists in the Premier League this season, with stats specialists WhoScored giving him an overall ranking of 6.95/10 for the campaign so far, making him the fourth highest rated player in the CFC squad.

Overall, Chelsea could probably make big money from Fernandez’s sale, and though he wouldn’t necessarily be easy to replace, bringing in someone like Anderson from Nottingham Forest would potentially be an upgrade.
