Madrid, Spain – Wahala don dey rise for Real Madrid as dem dey search for new midfielder, especially since dem don say bye-bye to two of dem big stars, Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić. Na wetin dem fit do now to hold dem midfield game tight dey worry the board.
Dem don eye Enzo Fernández like person wey fit fill that gap sharp sharp. The boy, wey just join Chelsea for January 2023, don finally settle down and the gaffer dem for Stamford Bridge don talk say he dey shine like star. He don play 117 official matches already, and people dey call am one of the best defensive midfielders for Europe (no be small thing oh!).
But hold your horses! As e be say, Chelsea no go just give am out like say na freebie. The deal no go easy at all. Why? Because he still get contract wey go expire till June 2032, plus dem don fork out €121 million ($141 million) to sign him. How dem go wan sell am just like dat?
Real Madrid don dey think say if na by ginger the boy go need before Chelsea go free am, den na so e go take happen. They dey admire his profile well well, but dem too dey focus on wetin dey happen for dem account wey no suppose dry. “Na difficult matter we dey talk about here,” na wetin dem talk about am in one gist.
Last season, Enzo take shine for Chelsea. He play 46 matches and score six goals with 14 assists (the guy no dey play oh!). But this season, he don already don show say he dey ready as he don score two goals and 3 assists in just nine matches. E fit even break him last season records if he continue like this.
As e be now, Real Madrid no dey rush to sign midfielder, but e be like say dem don understand say that area na the weakest part of dem game. No be say dem players no dey talented, but the kind player wey fit control the midfield na wetin dem miss. Chelsea get Enzo, PSG dey flex with Vitinha, and Barcelona sabi Pedri. But Real Madrid? Na as dem take manage am till this time.
So, wetin be the next step? As e stand now, it fit depend on how e go be between Enzo and his Chelsea bosses. If e fit dey pull dem leg, maybe dem go gree negotiate. Until den, make we dey watch how this gist dey unfold, because transfer season never finish.
