The management of La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid has resumed its long-term search for a Chelsea midfield player.
That is what Fichajes says, identifying the player in question as Enzo Fernández.
Naturally, there have been other instances in the past where the names of Real Madrid and Argentine international Enzo have been associated.
Los Blancos are believed to have identified Enzo as the type of player who could succeed in Spain's capital, dating back to the midfielder's days with Benfica in Portugal.
As mentioned above, ties between the parties have resurfaced this week after becoming rather quiet in recent months.
According to a source from Fichajes, in the midst of a continuous quest for reinforcements in the centre of the park after Luka Modrić and Toni Kroos left, respectively:
Real Madrid is now more interested in Enzo Fernández, a midfielder. Notwithstanding the challenges in the discussion, Xabi Alonso wants to include Fernández since he regards him as a crucial component of his vision.
In order to approve the 24-year-old's sale, Chelsea is anticipated to require a payment of about €100 million.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.
However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.
It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.
Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.
According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.
"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.
The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.
Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.
After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
