Reports: Chelsea set to swap Enzo Fernandez to sign Real Madrid midfielder

According to reports, Real Madrid is prepared to let go of Aurelien Tchouameni and may make the midfield player an offer in exchange for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Tchouameni has appeared in 102 first-team games across all competitions since joining Los Blancos from Monaco during the summer of 2022 for almost £85 million.

The 24-year-old featured 38 times for Carlo Ancelotti's team that claimed the La Liga title, Champions League, and Supercopa de Espana last season despite missing a few brief stints due to persistent ailments. Since then, Tchouameni has appeared in 13 of Real Madrid's 15 games in all competitions this season, mostly at defensive midfield or occasionally in central defense.

Real Madrid is reportedly willing to trade the midfield player, who has reportedly lost favor at the Santiago Bernabeu due to a decline in performance, despite the fact that the Frenchman has played frequently under Ancelotti this season, according to Spanish news source Relevo.

According to the report, the club's management is more persuaded by Eduardo Camavinga and is now prepared to approve a deal for the former, who was previously thought to be unsellable, even though Ancelotti still has faith in Tchouameni and thinks he is the best choice for playing as a midfield pivot.

Will Chelsea accept this deal for Enzo Fernandez’s transfer?

Tchouameni might be used by Real Madrid in a deal to entice Chelsea footballer Enzo Fernandez out of Stamford Bridge, according to a different report from Fichajes. Although they must either give up Tchouameni or utilize him as a part-exchange offer, Los Blancos would be prepared to spend about €100 million (£84.4 million) for Fernandez.

Premier League teams Manchester United and Liverpool, who have been connected to Tchouameni, may get concerned if it became clear that Real Madrid would want to transfer the midfield player. Prior to Tchouameni's high-profile transfer to Real Madrid, Chelsea is rumored to have had interest in him; however, it is unclear if they intend to rekindle that interest anytime soon.
