Chelsea Rejects Real Madrid's Enzo Fernandez Sale Inquiry

Chelsea have firmly rejected Real Madrid's interest in midfielder Enzo Fernandez, insisting he is not for sale despite Madrid's ongoing search for a new midfielder. Fernandez, who forms a highly valued partnership with Moises Caicedo, is considered a cornerstone of Enzo Maresca’s plans, and both are seen as untouchable this summer. Chelsea sources emphasize Fernandez's growing influence and leadership, highlighting his on-field contributions and improvement in attack, as well as his status as a frequent captain. The club plans to keep both Fernandez and Caicedo, with no intention of weakening their squad ahead of a Champions League push. While Chelsea are open to selling other players to fund new signings, they remain adamant that Fernandez will stay, even in the face of increased interest from Madrid or other suitors. This resolute stance is part of Chelsea's broader strategy to strengthen their team for the next season.
