Chelsea midfield enforcer shuts down Real Madrid transfer talk – ‘Want to become a legend here’ | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s quest for a new midfielder has only intensified as we approach the business end of the season.

In recent days, the club have been strongly linked with a move for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, who reportedly harbours the dream of playing for Los Blancos, although he has denied any talks about his future in a recent interview.

Real Madrid are also monitoring Enzo’s midfield partner, Moises Caicedo. But the Ecuadorian international has already given a strong message to the Spanish giants.

Caicedo wants to become a Chelsea legend

In a recent interview with El Chiringuito (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Caicedo was asked about his future amid speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

But in response, the midfielder dismissed any talks about his future and instead professed his love for Chelsea, even adding that he wants to become a legend at Stamford Bridge.

“I’m only focused on my club right now. I have a contract and I want to become a legend there, God willing,” he said.

Caicedo’s statement, despite Chelsea’s poor form in the Premier League and a recent elimination in the Champions League, with the Blues suffering an 8-2 hammering at the hands of defending champions PSG.

Caicedo, though, remains focused on Chelsea’s season as well as the upcoming World Cup, where he will be representing Ecuador.

“I want to finish the season in the best way possible. I hope everything goes well at the World Cup because I want to help my national team reach the top,” he added.

Caicedo’s comments suggest he is not considering leaving Chelsea at the moment, although it will be interesting to see how things transpire in the coming summer.
