Pantich says that negotiations are advanced to complete a summer transfer but there are still details remaining.
The reporter adds that Enzo has a verbal agreement already to become a Real Madrid player.
Enzo to Real Madrid?
Madrid are planning to sign a top central midfielder this summer as they have struggled in this area in 2024-25.
Fabrizio Romano claimed last month that Chelsea are not planning to sell Enzo this summer.
The Blues consider Fernandez as a very important player not only today but for the future.
Fernandez has been a mainstay in Enzo Maresca’s preferred midfield pivot so far this season and he has scored seven goals and provided 13 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.
After a slow start, the 24-year-old has been a key player in west London since his arrival from SL Benfica in January 2023.
He has worn the captain’s armband on multiple occasions so far this season amid Reece James’ injury issues.
Chelsea value Enzo at €100 million and do not want to sell but an offer around that region could be considered.
Enzo has well and truly overcome the problems he faced following the Argentina racism scandal last year.
Enzo hit the headlines after he and a group of Argentina teammates were filmed celebrating their Copa America victory by chanting a derogatory song about the France national team.
The song in question has been called racist and transphobic as it contains a number of references to the African heritage of France players, as well a transgender insult.
Enzo apologised but his behaviour caused problems in the Chelsea dressing room.
Many of Enzo’s Chelsea teammates were furious with the Argentine for his behaviour, with Wesley Fofana publicly slamming the Argentine and a number of the Blues’ French and African players unfollowing Enzo on social media.
Enzo escaped punishment for the incident and rebuilt his Chelsea career to enjoy a successful individual season.
