Real Madrid have dismissed claims suggesting they are planning to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, explicitly stating they have no plans to pursue the Argentine player. The club released an official statement on Friday to clarify their position following rumors sparked by comments from the player’s representative, Javier Pastore.
While Pastore did not claim a deal was in progress, his public musings about the appeal of Madrid helped sustain transfer rumors. Real Madrid countered these claims directly, clarifying that they have not initiated any contact and have no desire to acquire the midfielder. The organization noted that they issued this statement to ensure fairness to both Chelsea and the player, labeling the ongoing chatter as completely inaccurate.
Chelsea verified that they have not been contacted by the Spanish side regarding a transfer. While the London club reportedly values the 25-year-old at approximately £120 million, they are not looking to offload him, as he is considered essential to manager Xabi Alonso’s tactical setup. Although Fernández has faced past rumors and previously expressed an interest in living in Spain, both Chelsea and Real Madrid remain firm that no move is occurring.
