Chelsea and Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez is set to be a man in demand this summer.
Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are all thought to be interested in signing Fernandez.
Fernandez is also attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, but it is unlikely that the 25-year-old will move there.

Enzo Fernandez wants to become a legend at Real Madrid, not Chelsea
According to reports, if he is allowed to leave Chelsea in the next transfer window, Fernandez’s ideal move would be Real Madrid.
AS has claimed that Fernandez’s dream is to play at the Santiago Bernabeu and that the Argentine wants to become a legend there.
It is not the sort of news that Chelsea fans will want to hear, while Liam Rosenior will not like all the noise surrounding his future either.

Rosenior rates Fernandez very highly, and the former Benfica man has become such a key player for him. After a 2-0 win against west London rivals Brentford back in January, Rosenior labelled Fernandez as a “magnificent” player via Chelsea’s official club website.
However, losing him this summer is starting to look like a real possibility. It is thought that Fernandez was left feeling really disappointed after Enzo Maresca’s exit.
The two got on really well, with Fernandez playing arguably his best football at Chelsea under him.
Enzo Fernandez could still become a Chelsea icon
Fernandez is a very popular figure among the Chelsea fan base. The Stamford Bridge faithful love the passion that the Argentina international shows on the pitch, the way he fights for the team and riles up opposition players.
Most significantly, though, they appreciate his footballing ability. Fernandez is a very technical midfielder who has been among the goals this season.
When you consider that and the number of years Fernandez has left on his contract, it is not impossible that he stays at Chelsea and ends up becoming a legend there. Supporters will have to wait and see what happens this summer.
