Mourinho's dream: Real Madrid step up move for Enzo Fernández | OneFootball

Real Madrid are determined to shake up the transfer market. After completing the signings of Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konaté, Denzel Dumfries, and Bernardo Silva, the Spanish club are preparing a spectacular move: the signing of Enzo Fernández. The Argentina international midfielder has become José Mourinho’s absolute priority for his return to the Merengue dugout, and president Florentino Pérez would be willing to put more than €100 million on the table.

According to reports from European media, the Madrid hierarchy have already been in contact with the 25-year-old midfielder’s camp, reaching an initial agreement on the terms of his potential contract. The next step will be to begin formal negotiations with Chelsea. Although the London club want to keep him, a firm stance from Fernández pushing for a move could force them to negotiate, as they look to recoup a large part of the €120 million they invested in him at the start of 2023.

Mourinho sees the former River player as a key piece in rebuilding the team’s midfield at the Santiago Bernabéu. Enzo, who is currently playing in the World Cup and recently started in Argentina’s win over Algeria, is very open to the possibility of making the jump to the Spanish giants. While Chelsea have valued him at around €140 million and his contract runs until 2032, talks are expected to move forward steadily once the World Cup comes to an end.
