Chelsea Set Transfer Condition for Enzo Fernandez’s Move
Chelsea’s Stance on Enzo Fernandez’s Potential Move to Real Madrid
Real Madrid is actively looking to reinforce its midfield ahead of the upcoming transfer window
Reports suggest that Chelsea is open to discussing a transfer, but only under one specific condition: Real Madrid must include Aurelien Tchouameni in the deal.
The French defensive midfielder, currently valued at €80 million, is reportedly available for transfer, making the swap a viable option for both clubs.
Chelsea’s Demand: Aurelien Tchouameni in Exchange
Chelsea is unwilling to weaken its midfield without securing a high-caliber replacement.
Enzo Fernandez, who joined Chelsea for a record fee in January 2023, remains a crucial figure in the squad.
If the Blues are to part ways with him, they want a direct replacement in Tchouameni.
According to FourFourTwo, Chelsea has proposed a straight swap deal with Real Madrid, ensuring they remain competitive in midfield while allowing Fernandez to make his dream move to Spain.

Competition for Tchouameni’s Signature
While Chelsea is pushing for a swap deal, they face stiff competition for Tchouameni.
The 25-year-old French midfielder is attracting interest from multiple European powerhouses.
Manchester City, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring his situation, with Real Madrid setting an asking price of €80 million.
Despite having a contract at the Bernabeu until 2028, Tchouameni could be on the move if the right offer arrives.
Liverpool and Manchester City are particularly keen, given their need for a defensive midfielder.
What’s Next?
The negotiations between Chelsea and Real Madrid are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
If the Spanish side refuses to include Tchouameni in the deal, Chelsea may hold firm on keeping Fernandez.
However, with multiple clubs interested in both midfielders, a potential blockbuster transfer could be on the horizon.
As the summer window approaches, all eyes will be on Chelsea and Real Madrid to see if an agreement can be reached.
