“I need Enzo” – Real Madrid to offer Chelsea £83m star in exchange for Enzo Fernandez
Aurelien Tchouameni, a France international, may be sacrificed to sweeten a deal with Chelsea, according to a Spanish media outlet this week.
Real Madrid is willing to give Chelsea Tchouameni in return for Fernandez, who Ancelotti particularly desires. Real Madrid has made Maresca’s midfield star their top target in an attempt to expand their center options, and Fernandez may be open to the move.
Ancelotti views the 23-year-old as the perfect addition to his youthful midfield, which would be paired with players like Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and Federico Valverde.
Whilst Real are prepared to pay around £83 million for Fernandez, there is also the possibility of including Tchouameni in talks to reduce the overall cost of a move. Tchouameni himself cost Real around £83m, including add-ons, to sign from Monaco on a six-year deal in 2022.
“Listen, Tchouameni is a young kid, he’s going to make mistakes but he’s a superb talent, he produces moments out of nowhere, incredible player,” said pundit Rio Ferdinand during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“Replacing Pogba in a France XI is not an easy task, but so far, Tchouaméni has been superb. Tchouameni showed why he plays for Real Madrid. He has the patience, talent, control, he has everything you need.”
