Real Madrid have denied that they have made any effort to sign Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea.

The LaLiga giants have been forced to deny rumours linking them with the Argentina midfielder.

Madrid have already signed Marc Cucurella from the Blues this summer and there has been heated speculation that Fernandez could be next.

But an official statement on Friday, read: “In light of the reports and statements that have appeared in recent days regarding Real Madrid C.F.’s alleged interest in the player Enzo Fernández, the club wishes to state that it has not made any efforts, either directly or indirectly, to sign the aforementioned player and, furthermore, has no intention of undertaking such a transfer.

“Real Madrid wishes to express its utmost respect for Enzo Fernández, a great footballer whose career and quality are widely recognized, as well as for Chelsea FC, a club with which it maintains an excellent institutional relationship.

“Precisely out of respect for an institution like Chelsea FC and due to the principles of institutional loyalty that have always guided Real Madrid’s actions, the club considers it necessary to categorically deny these unfounded speculations, which are completely untrue.

“Real Madrid regrets that, despite the clarity of the facts and the lack of any action on the part of the club, information continues to be disseminated that does not correspond to reality and that only contributes to generating confusion among fans and unnecessarily harming the entities and people involved.”
