<p>According to a sensational report from journalist <a href="https://x.com/RenzoMPantich/status/1924921299014393869" target="_blank">Renzo Pantich</a>, the 24-year-old has a 'verbal agreement' to become a Madrid player. However, BBC Sport, via <a href="https://www.si.com/onsi/soccer/chelsea/transfers/chelsea-asking-price-enzo-fernandez-revealed-real-madrid-interest-01jvqjg59t30" target="_blank">SI</a>, suggests there is no indication Chelsea would sell the Argentina international, and if they did, they would ask for more than the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/chelsea-sign-enzo-fernandez-record-transfer-benfica-accept-deadline-day-bid/blt2088450ab90ef07c" target="_blank">£106.8 million ($143m) they paid to Benfica back in 2023</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The former Benfica star, who has 20 goal contributions this season, seemed to suggest he was happy at Stamford Bridge earlier this month.</p><p>He said: "I’m so happy with my numbers. Being a box-to-box midfielder, it’s a really good number of goals and assists. It was difficult in the beginning, getting to know (head coach) Enzo [Maresca] and the way he wanted to play, but now I totally understand him and what he wants from me."</p>

WHAT FERNANDEZ SAID

<p>Before the transfer window opens and football fans wait to see if Madrid lodge a bid for Fernandez, his Chelsea side take on Nottingham Forest in their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday.</p>
