"Chelsea may be preparing for one of the biggest transfer decisions, with TEAMtalk reporting that the club is open to selling World Cup-winning midfielder Enzo Fernandez if a suitable bid arrives this summer. The 25-year-old Argentina international, who joined Chelsea for a then-British-record 106.8 million in January 2023, has been one of the club's most influential players and even worn the captain's armband on multiple occasions. But despite his importance, sources say he is not considered untouchable in the next phase of Chelsea's squad evolution."
"While Chelsea have not formally placed Fernandez on the transfer list, intermediaries have reportedly communicated to major European clubs, including Real Madrid, that the Blues would be willing to negotiate if a huge offer arrives.

Potential interest from Madrid could push the deal toward a record La Liga transfer"
