Chelsea sources insist Enzo Fernandez is going nowhere, even if Real Madrid escalate their interest in the 24-year-old Argentinian this summer.
Real are in the market for a midfielder and have tracked Fernandez, a hybrid between defensive and attacking, ever since he was originally with River Plate.
He ended up going from there to Benfica to Chelsea for £106.8million after winning the World Cup in 2022, and Stamford Bridge insiders have no intention of breaking up his burgeoning £220m midfield partnership with Moises Caicedo, another star considered untouchable this summer.
Fernandez came in for criticism last year when he was accused of singing a racist song after Argentina’s Copa America triumph.
