Enzo Fernández has played down speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, insisting there has been no contact as he remains focused on helping Chelsea FC secure a return to the Champions League.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who joined Chelsea in a £107 million move from Benfica and is under contract until 2031, addressed recent reports suggesting Madrid were monitoring his performances. Despite the growing rumors, Fernández made it clear that no approach has been made.
“I’ve had no contact with Real Madrid,” he said, shutting down speculation that has gained traction in recent weeks.
Fernández has been one of Chelsea’s standout performers this season, contributing eight Premier League goals from midfield. His influence has been key in the club’s push for a top-four finish, with Chelsea currently on 45 points—just three behind Liverpool FC in the race for Champions League qualification.
His form has naturally attracted attention from Europe’s elite clubs, with Real Madrid reportedly looking to strengthen their midfield options. However, Fernández emphasized that his priority remains with Chelsea as they aim to finish the season strongly.
At the same time, the Argentine World Cup winner hinted that future decisions could be revisited after the upcoming global tournament set to begin on June 11. His comments have sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some interpreting them as a sign of openness to future opportunities, while others view them as a routine acknowledgment of football’s unpredictability.
For now, Fernández appears firmly committed to Chelsea’s immediate goals, with his performances continuing to play a central role in their pursuit of Champions League football.
