Real Madrid issue statement in response to midfield transfer links | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Friday issued an official statement, refuting recent media claims regarding a move for Chelsea star Enzo Fernández.

Midfielder Enzo has of course been hotly tipped to take his talents to Spain’s capital this summer.

Amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the middle of the park, the Real Madrid brass are understood to have circled the name of the Argentine in red.

Over recent days, it was in turn speculated in the media that Los Blancos were closing on an imminent deal to bring Enzo in for the 2026/27 campaign.

As alluded to above, however, on Friday, those behind the scenes at the Bernabéu have moved to shut down any such suggestions.

In a statement across the club’s social media platforms, Real Madrid announced:

‘In light of the information and statements that have emerged in recent days regarding an alleged interest from Real Madrid C. F. in the player Enzo Fernández, the club wishes to state that it has not made any efforts, either directly or indirectly, aimed at signing the aforementioned player and, furthermore, has no intention of pursuing such an operation.

‘Real Madrid wishes to express its utmost respect for Enzo Fernández, a great footballer whose career and quality are widely recognized, as well as for Chelsea FC, a club with which it maintains an excellent institutional relationship.

‘Precisely out of respect for an institution like Chelsea FC and the principles of institutional loyalty that have always guided Real Madrid’s actions, the club considers it necessary to categorically deny these speculations, which are unfounded and do not reflect reality.

‘Real Madrid regrets that, despite the clarity of the facts and the absence of any action by the club, information continues to be disseminated that does not correspond to reality and only serves to create confusion among fans and unnecessarily harm the entities and individuals involved.’
