It is no secret that Enzo Fernandez is keen on a move to Real Madrid this summer, and those close to the player believe he will get his move away from Chelsea this summer.
It has already been reported that Fernandez has agreed personal terms with Madrid, although as of yet an official bid is yet to come in for the midfielder.
Madrid are keen to get their business done early this summer following the hiring of Jose Mourinho. Marc Cucurella has already made the move from Stamford Bridge.
CHELSEA’S FIXTURES ARE ANNOUNCED!
What do you make of our start to the season?
Enzo Fernandez confident he will be a Real Madrid player next season
Fernandez was desperate to have his own move sorted before the World Cup, which will obviously take up a large part of his attention for the coming weeks as he tries to defend the trophy with Argentina.
Despite no obvious movement from Madrid yet, Simon Phillips has stated that people close to Fernandez expect him to be a Galactico next season.
He said on his Substack: “Fernandez’s camp are calm and optimistic he will be a Real Madrid player this summer. Focusing on the World Cup right now and everything else can wait.
“No idea at this point on the time span we are looking at but confidence on the player side. We will see what happens before the end of June.”
It looks as if Fernandez is not even wanting to give things a chance under Xabi Alonso, a manager many are tipping to get the best out of this Chelsea squad.

Chelsea on the hunt for Fernandez replacement
Chelsea are yet to make any new signings this summer, although will need to replace Fernandez well should he leave the club this summer.
Arda Guler would be a popular signing for Alonso. He briefly got the best out of him during their time together at Real Madrid.
However, Chelsea may look instead towards a player with Premier League experience under their belt already.
Their dream signing is known to be Adam Wharton, although they may settle for someone for a lower fee, such as Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall.
