There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding Fernandez’s future following the defeat to PSG, and that has only grown over the international break.

Fernandez has spoken on a number of occasions about Madrid, and it’s clear he’s trying to angle for a move to the Spanish giants.

Paul Merson on Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid

It’s been reported Chelsea players are unhappy with Fernandez and his leadership in recent weeks, with the 25-year-old vocal in the dressing room after recent defeats.

Fernandez has been unable to reach an agreement with Chelsea over a new contract despite being in negotiations with the club.

It will be interesting to hear what Liam Rosenior has to say about his conduct when he faces the media on Friday, ahead of Saturday’s game against Port Vale.

It’s been reported in the Spanish media a move could be difficult this summer, and Merson feels the price tag could be an issue.

“With the World Cup also coming up this summer, some of the top players around the world will look to use that tournament as a platform to impress other teams and seal a transfer,” he told Sportskeeda.

“Enzo isn’t worth £100 million unless Argentina win the World Cup again.

“I doubt Chelsea will concede a loss while approving his exit. That could make the Real Madrid switch difficult in my opinion.”
