Enzo Fernández dey one step closer to Real Madrid, according to Spanish journalist Miguel ‘Látigo’ Serrano. E reveal for im YouTube channel say Florentino Pérez, if e win election, don already get agreement with the Argentine midfielder.
“Dem don reach agreement with Enzo Fernández. The pact wey Real Madrid reach no be transfer agreement with Chelsea, but na deal wey dem do with Enzo Fernández, Javier Pastore, im agent, and Real Madrid so that e go be Real Madrid player after World Cup,” Serrano announce.
“That pact no mean say one hundred percent e go play for Madrid, but e go depend on whether negotiations between Madrid and Chelsea reach good port. We go see how much money Real Madrid ready to put and how much Chelsea go accept to reduce dem price,” e warn.
“Everybody dey take am as say the president fit leak the signing of Enzo Fernández because na operation wey only depend on money. When Florentino say people know say the best players want play for Real Madrid, dem tell me say e dey refer to Enzo Fernández and also another one.”
The player desire na to play for Real Madrid and that don clear for public, even to the point wey Chelsea sideline am because e yarn say im desire na “to live for Madrid one day.” Chelsea wey no qualify for European competition fit help unlock operation wey fit reach astronomical figures for Chelsea.
Meanwhile, former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips believe say Enzo Fernández go want remain for Stamford Bridge this summer, but e go need guarantee say the club dey head correct direction. Fernández don dey persistently linked with exit from Chelsea throughout the season, and comments about possible transfer to Real Madrid don just fuel the rumours.
The Argentine international receive internal sanction after e admit say e no sure say e go remain for club next season, before e reveal say e go love to live for Madrid. Im agent, Javier Pastore, later apologise, assuring say Fernández “no understand the situation” and “e no mention any club nor say e want leave Chelsea, not at all.”
The arrival of Xabi Alonso for Stamford Bridge as coach, instead of only technical director, suggest say the next boss go get more authority for the club, especially for transfer market, as Manchester City also dey interested to sign am.
“I think Xabi Alonso na fantastic coach,” Wright-Phillips tell Betway. “Of course, dem no give am plenty time for Real Madrid and e must deal with many difficult people while e dey there.”
“But from wetin I see, e look like say Chelsea go give am total control of the club concerning transfers and say e go get say for the matter.”
“I think that one fit be wetin go help players to remain, as e fit now use am as persuasive tool to keep people for the club.”
“Players like Enzo, Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer and even those like Cucurella or Reece James go want remain for that club, but dem want know say the club dey stable and dey progress at same time.”
“I think the arrival of Xabi for Chelsea go stabilise that one,” Wright-Phillips talk. “But honestly I no think say e [Enzo] be person wey City go pursue, because dem don get enough midfielders for that position.”
“Dem get Nico González, obviously Rodri dey there, Phil Foden and Nico O’Reilly wey fit easily play for that position. So dem get enough players for that number eight role.”
Report say Chelsea go allow Fernández to leave if offer of $160 million come this summer, although the midfielder still dey very present for Alonso plans for next season. After dem name am new coach of the Blues, Alonso talk: “Chelsea be one of the biggest clubs for world football and e fill me with immense pride to become the coach of this great club.”
“From my conversations with the ownership group and sporting directors, e clear say we share same ambition. We want build team wey fit compete consistently for highest level and fight for trophies.”
“There be great talent for the squad and enormous potential for this football club, and e go be great honour for me to lead am. Now the focus dey on hard work, to build the right culture and to win trophies.”
