Real Madrid are preparing a sensational swap offer to Chelsea which will see Aurelien Tchouameni exchanged for Enzo Fernandez.

According to Fichajes, Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has personally requested the signing of Enzo in 2025.

Following the retirement of Toni Kroos last summer, Madrid have lacked a ball-playing central midfielder who can construct and dictate the play from deep.

Initially, Madrid had planned to sign Rodri from Man City but his ACL injury means they are now looking elsewhere.

Madrid are prepared to pay €100 million for Enzo, and will offer Tchouameni in exchange to virtually eliminate any transfer fee.

Enzo remains the most expensive player in Premier League history, but has not really lived up to his transfer fee.

The Argentina international moved to Stamford Bridge for a whopping €121 million in January 2023, following an immense Qatar World Cup and a string of excellent performances for Benfica.

Upon his arrival, Fernandez settled instantly and he caught the eye under both Graham Potter and Frank Lampard, despite Chelsea’s struggles at the back end of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, the 23-year-old’s form has regressed since an encouraging first six months in west London and there have even been reports he is looking to leave the club.

Enzo Fernandez and Aurelien Tchouameni swap?

As for Tchouameni, 24, he has starred since moving to the Santiago Bernabeu two years ago from Monaco for €100m.

However, he has been tentatively linked with multiple Premier League clubs over the past few months, and Arsenal and Liverpool are among the other clubs monitoring his situation in the Spanish capital.

Tchouameni has made 102 appearances since joining Real Madrid from AS Monaco, scoring three goals and winning seven major trophies.

Could Enzo and Tchouameni now swap clubs next year?
