Chelsea star Enzo Fernandez has sparked fresh speculation over a potential move to Real Madrid after admitting that he and his wife, Valentina, view the Spanish capital as their ideal European home.
Enzo Fernandez has been cooking up a storm in recent weeks, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping.
First, it was Fernandez’s comments after the loss to PSG that sparked fury, as he claimed that his future at Chelsea was uncertain beyond this season.
Then, he came out and stated that he’s very comfortable at Chelsea and that his previous comments were taken out of context, which many supporters took with a pinch of salt.
Especially as the links between Enzo Fernandez and Real Madrid don’t seem to be going away.
