Chelsea have been handed major boost as one of their stars has rejected an offer from Spanish giants. However, his future at Stamford Bridge is still not certain.
The star in question here is Enzo Fernandez who the Blues signed in January 2023. The West London club were impressed with his steller performances in World Cup 2022 for Argentina. This forced them to pay Benfica £107 million.
Enzo Fernandez is playing a big role for Enzo Maresca right now. He has scored 5 goals and picked 9 assists in 35 games. The Blues are very happy with him due to his ability of playing as both central and holding midfielder.
Fernandez is only 24 years old and Chelsea want to keep him for long time. They have him tied with a contract running until 2032. But, the Argentine has interest from multiple top clubs across whole Europe.
Atletico Madrid are willing to sign Enzo Fernandez this summer. According to Eduardo Burgos, many Argentine players who play for Atletico tried to convince Fernandez to join them this summer. But, the 24 year old has rejected the offer.

Can Chelsea keep hold of Enzo Fernandez?
The report states that Fernandez likes London and is determined to stay at Chelsea. However, he also has many other options despite Atletico not being one of them. The Argentine is looked upon heavily by Real Madrid.
The player will have a huge say about his future. As for the club, Chelsea are unwilling to sell him. But if the player forces the move, the West London club will demand more than €80 million.
Real Madrid may step-up their interest this summer as they are desperate to sign new midfielder. They also have Martin Zubimendi on their radar. However, the Spaniard is heavily linked with a move to Arsenal.
