Chelsea and Real Madrid can be involved in a swap deal as the Spanish giants are showing strong interest in one Blues star. Los Blancos are offering one of their current stars in exchange of Chelsea’s star player.
The star linked with a move to Real Madrid is Enzo Fernandez. Los Blancos have been linked with the Argentine since a long time now. They are currently feeling a need to improve their middle of the pitch.
Enzo Fernandez joined the Blues in January 2024 after the World Cup. The West London outfit paid £105 million to Benfica to secure the Argentine’s services. But, the 24 year old is yet to fulfill the expectations from Chelsea.
Real Madrid plotting swap deal with Chelsea to sign Enzo Fernandez
The Sun have reported that South American sources say Madrid are keen to sign Fernandez and are offering Aurelien Tchouameni in return. They are plotting a direct swap deal with no cash involved.
Tchouameni has fallen out of favour at Spanish capital. This season he was even forced to play as centre-back to fill in the spots of injured defenders. Los Blancos are open to part ways with him.
However, there are no reports from Chelsea’s side as of yet. The Blues will not feel a need to sign Tchouameni. The Frenchman plays as holding midfielder but the Blues want someone creative in the middle of the pitch.
Lastly, Fernandez was in great form recently. Despite him experiencing dip in form this month, the Blues boss still rate him very highly. However, the situation can still change when Romeo Lavia returns to full fitness.
Madrid will like to find someone more creative in the midfield. They are left with a huge void after the departure of Toni Kross. In addition, Luka Modric can also leave at the end of this season.
