Chelsea Set Fernandez Asking Price with Wantaway Star Open to Move
Chelsea would sell the Argentina midfielder if their valuation is met, with Real Madrid and Manchester City monitoring a move.
Chelsea have set their asking price for midfielder Enzo Fernández at £120m as the Argentine seeks a summer exit following the club's failure to qualify for European football.
Fernández has repeatedly cast doubt over his future this season as results saw Chelsea tumble out of the Champions League and finish tenth in the Premier League after a final-day defeat at Sunderland.
Despite the team's struggles, Fernández scored 15 goals and provided seven assists last season, finishing runner-up in Chelsea's player of the year award; a £120m fee would mark the club's record sale, eclipsing the £107m paid to sign him from Benfica in January 2023.
Fernández's agent Javier Pastore has been in contact with Real Madrid, the player's preferred destination, though the Spanish club would likely need to raise significant funds through player sales to meet Chelsea's asking price.
Manchester City may redirect focus toward Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson following Enzo Maresca's expected appointment, while Paris St-Germain have downplayed transfer interest and uncertainty remains over whether suitors will meet the £120m valuation.
