Enzo Fernández Poised to Join Real Madrid, Posing Big Test for Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso faces a major challenge as Chelsea prepare for the possible summer exit of their £100m-rated midfielder, Enzo Fernández. Reports suggest the Argentina international has a verbal agreement to join Real Madrid once both clubs agree on a fee. The Spanish giants have already secured Marc Cucurella in a £51.8m deal and now see Fernández as their next target. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirms that Fernández is high on Real Madrid’s list, though Manchester City were briefly linked. The Etihad side appear to favour Newcastle’s Elliot Anderson instead. Losing Fernández would leave a huge gap in Chelsea’s midfield ahead of Alonso’s bid to revive the club after a disappointing 2025–26 season.
