They link Enzo Fernández's signing for Madrid with the Super League: 'Unless...'

Enzo Fernández is on Madrid's radar, and the Super League could play a crucial role in his signing

Enzo Fernández is a player who is increasingly being considered in the possible plans of the world's biggest and most imposing clubs. Although Chelsea were crowned world champion, a larger-scale project would be a viable option. In this regard, Real Madrid is involved, but it's not a simple operation according to the press: "I don't think that's going to happen at that level, unless there's some kind of player swap."

It also mentions a detail regarding the Super League and the role it plays for clubs like Real Madrid and why they're interested in it. "I don't think Real Madrid can really pay that kind of money, to be honest. That's why we always see Real Madrid looking for things like the European Super League, because they need more money."

With this in mind, it seems that signing Enzo is complicated financially, but the door isn't closed. Although it really seems very complicated due to the general stance of the London club.

Madrid has it tough

Fernández has been a very important player not only at club level, but also for his national team where he's also a world champion. In the Club World Cup, he showed significant solidity for his team and organization in the midfield area.

His market value is the main problem, exceeding €100 million (over $108 million), making him one of the most expensive signings in the world. In addition, considering that Chelsea doesn't need to sell, things are even more complicated.

The mention that a swap for two players or something similar could be an option due to Chelsea's transfer project. For this reason, it would be an option in which Florentino could consider a swap with players of lesser stature.

The market keeps moving

The only certainty Florentino could have is that very few clubs can aspire to sign the Argentine today. For this reason, he has plenty of time to approach Chelsea with an offer that's worthwhile and that convinces the South American.
