Florentino Targets Premier League's Best Midfielder for 2025, a Galactico Within Reach

Enzo Fernández, a Chelsea player who is not an undisputed starter at the London club

Real Madrid are already planning their moves for 2025. Florentino Pérez has Enzo Fernández on his radar,  a Chelsea midfielder and one of the most prominent names in the Premier League.

The Argentine midfielder is considered by many to be the ideal heir to Toni Kroos. His technical quality and vision make him a galactic transfer. However, Real Madrid is not alone in this operation, as Atlético Madrid is also interested in the player.

At the moment, neither club has made any progress in the negotiation. Enzo Fernández remains 100% focused on Chelsea. But his agent has confirmed that he has received several calls from both Real Madrid and Atlético.

Million-dollar contract with Chelsea

The transfer will not be easy. Chelsea paid 120 million euros for Enzo and have him under contract for seven more years. This means that any interested club will have to make a considerable offer to get him out of Stamford Bridge.

In addition, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has made his situation more complicated. The Argentine has had problems due to the coach's constant rotations. However, in the last four games (Leicester, Aston Villa, Southampton and Tottenham), Fernández has regained his undisputed position.

Enzo, at his best

Enzo Fernández has shone recently with three goals and two assists in these four matches. This performance could increase his value even more in the market.

Real Madrid have a slight advantage. Florentino Pérez sees Enzo as a strategic bet to strengthen the midfield in the long term. The retirement of Kroos left a void that Fernández could fill perfectly.

Atlético, for its part, is looking for a player with his characteristics to lead its future project. His style would fit well into Diego Simeone's scheme.

Although Real Madrid's interest is strong, the operation will be expensive and complex. For now, Enzo Fernández remains committed to Chelsea, but his future could be decided soon.

Florentino Pérez is keeping an eye on the Argentine midfielder, who could become Real Madrid's next galactico in 2025.
