With the start of the transfer market just around the corner, Chelsea continues its efforts to keep Enzo Fernández amid rumors linking him with Real Madrid.
In line with this, in recent hours the Blues have designated him as a franchise player and stated that "he is non-transferable," making it clear that they have no intention of considering offers for him.
It is important to remember that the London club invested a total of £106.8 million in 2023 to acquire the full transfer of the Golden Boy winner from Qatar 2022.
The interest of the Madrid team in Fernández is not recent, as it is rumored that they have been following him since his time at River. Additionally, although they have already added young talents like Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, and Aurélien Tchouaméni, within the Merengue management they believe that the Argentine could be the ideal replacement in the event of Luka Modric's departure.
However, from London they do not seem willing to facilitate his departure, and the statistics support this decision. In most Chelsea matches, he was the player who covered the most distance, exceeding 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) in matches against Manchester City, Everton, and Aston Villa. He has also been key in offense with outstanding assists, surpassing even figures like Martin Ødegaard, Luis Díaz, and Phil Foden in that regard.
