Authenticity (3/5): Fernandez on Real's radar
Real Madrid are interested in Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, as they look to rebuild their squad ahead of the new season.
That is according to Teamtalk, who add that the Premier League giants aren't keen on a summer sale.
Value (2/5): Blues to demand massive fee
Chelsea signed the Argentina international from Benfica in a deal worth £107million and now the 24-year-old has established himself as one of Enzo Maresca's most important players.
As such, it would take an eye-watering offer to convince the London outfit to consider his exit. It is added that Los Blancos are unlikely to spend a big fee on him.
Suitability (3.5/5): Brilliant in possession
The Argentine is known for dictating the tempo of the game by recycling the possession and finding his teammates from deep with his impressive passing range. If Real are keen on dominating the possession and moving away from their transition focused style, Fernandez would be a very promising option for them.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): Plenty of competition
Real are blessed with a number of midfielders so it is not going to be easy for Fernandez to start from the get-go. However, with question marks on the futures of Aurelien Tchouameni and Luka Modric, the young midfielder might become a key part of Carlo Ancelotti's project in the long run.
Logic (4/5): Fernandez determined to join
Fernandez is under contract at Chelsea until 2032 but it is claimed that he would be very interested in joining the Spanish giants should they knock on Chelsea's doors.
Whisper+ verdict: 16/25
Considering the extreme finances involved, it appears only Fernandez's determination could progress the deal in Real's favour.
