“We are forgetting Cole Palmer for now as our new target is even better than him. He will add more diversity to our midfield. Chelsea is just wasting his potential” – This is according to Florentino Perez as Real Madrid prepares to make a bold move for a Chelsea standout as they drop Cole Palmer – Executives set to offer the player in a ‘straight swap’ deal.

Real Madrid have set their sights on Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández as they look to strengthen their squad.

According to D Sports, the La Liga giants are determined to secure the 24-year-old’s signature and have placed him high on their list of transfer priorities for the winter window.

This isn’t the first time Los Blancos have been linked with Fernández, but this time, they reportedly plan to make a serious push to land the Argentine.

To facilitate the move, Real Madrid are willing to part ways with underperforming players and are even considering including one in a potential swap deal. The report claims club officials are prepared to offer Aurélien Tchouaméni in a straight exchange for the former Benfica star, with no cash involved.

Tchouaméni, 24, is said to be open to an exit following tensions with manager Carlo Ancelotti, while Fernández—despite being a key figure under Enzo Maresca—could consider leaving Stamford Bridge amid recent controversies.

With crucial moments ahead in the transfer window, both players appear receptive to a potential switch, and further developments could be imminent. It remains to be seen how the Spanish and English media will respond to this emerging story.
