Real Madrid make Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez top target

Real Madrid make Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez top target Real Madrid are unlikely to sign Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise this summer. Madrid had made Olise their primary target and were willing to offer as much as €220 million for the winger . However, Bayern are not ready to sell the France international. Madrid have now shifted their attention towards Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, according to AS . They have made Fernandez a top midfield target over Ayyoub Bouaddi, Felix Nmecha and Mateus Fernandes. They believe he has more top-level experience than other options and is therefore better suited for the club. Manager Jose Mourinho is said to be a big admirer of the Chelsea star due to his defensive and leadership attributes. Fernandez is open to joining Madrid. He previously made comments suggesting he wants to join the Spanish giants, which led to a two-game suspension last season . Chelsea want to keep the former Benfica star, with manager Xabi Alonso keen to work with him. However, they could listen to offers in excess of €100 million for him. The west London side are in a very strong position, with Fernandez having six years left on his contract. Madrid want to make a high-profile sale in midfield before stepping up their interest in Fernandez. They are willing to listen to offers for Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga — both of whom have already been linked with Manchester United. Madrid are expected to sell just one of the two French midfielders to fund a move for Fernandez. The 25-year-old would form a part of Los Blancos’ new-look midfield alongside Bernardo Silva , who is set to join as a free agent from Manchester City at the end of the month.
