Since his high-profile move to Stamford Bridge, Enzo Fernández has seen his playing time significantly reduced under new manager Enzo Maresca. This has sparked speculation about his future, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid all expressing keen interest in the Argentine midfielder.
A hefty price tag
According to reports from Defensa Central, Chelsea has placed a staggering €120 million price tag on Fernández. With his contract running until 2032, the Blues are in a strong negotiating position and are unlikely to accept anything less than a premium for their star player.
Atlético Madrid enters the fray
ESPN has reported that Atlético Madrid have joined the race for Fernández. The Spanish giants are eager to bolster their midfield and believe that the Argentine international could be the missing piece in their puzzle.
Given the exorbitant price tag, Atlético are exploring the possibility of a loan deal during the January transfer window. This would allow Fernández to gain valuable playing time and for Atlético to assess his suitability for their team before making a permanent move.
Real Madrid and Barcelona circling
Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been linked with a move for Fernández, who has impressed with his performances for both club and country. Both Spanish giants are in constant search of top-tier midfielders and see Fernández as a long-term investment.
However, the high asking price from Chelsea could prove to be a stumbling block for both clubs. Real Madrid and Barcelona may be hesitant to meet Chelsea's valuation, particularly given the current economic climate.
What's next for Fernández?
The future of Enzo Fernández remains uncertain. With three of Europe's biggest clubs vying for his signature, the Argentine midfielder has a plethora of options to choose from.
If Chelsea are unable to find a buyer willing to meet their asking price, they may be forced to keep Fernández at the club. However, with limited playing time and the interest from other clubs, it seems unlikely that the Argentine will want to stay at Stamford Bridge for much longer.
