Chelsea’s record signing is no longer “untouchable” and top teams are “monitoring closely” ahead of summer move | OneFootball

TeamTalk are the latest site to jump on the rumours that Chelsea are willing to sell Enzo Fernandez, and that there are two teams interested in taking him.

The Argentine midfielder is apparently a target for both Real Madrid – who have long been linked, and PSG.

“Real Madrid sources say the club have been given indications that Chelsea would be willing to sell Enzo Fernandez at the right price,” their writer Dean Jones claims.

“The midfielder’s future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain beyond this season, and Madrid have been monitoring the situation closely.”

He adds that Enzo is not “untouchable,” unlike some other players in the squad.

So, that’s the reporting on it. How likely do we think it is that this happens? Very unlikely, frankly. Chelsea are locked into Enzo as an asset at the record breaking prices of £106m. They’re not going to take a loss on that, especially with Enzo actually offering a lot to their team.

We certainly think they’d consider selling him to PSG or Real Madrid at the price they bought him – but neither is going to offer anything close. It feels more likely he stays with us a few more years, then as his contract gets closer to an end he eventually reaches a price level where top clubs can actually make offers we’ll consider.

In other news…

Raheem Sterling is a forgotten man at Chelsea, but some of the moves to recall players from loan this month are leading to speculation that the winger could be sent to an old friend in Serie A.

It looks like a defender will indeed be top of our list of signings for this month, after the sporting directors changed their mind over our need level. Ben Jacobs gives a good update on a number of options here.
