Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso is actively working to prevent the potential transfer of midfielder Enzo Fernandez to Real Madrid.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from journalist Miguel Serrano, the Spanish tactician has identified the Argentine international as a priority player for his squad and is determined to block any move away from Stamford Bridge.
Reports indicate that Alonso views Fernandez as a player of strategic importance for Chelsea's future and has communicated his firm stance to the club's management, urging them not to entertain offers for the midfielder. Alonso's arrival at Chelsea has brought a renewed focus on squad stability, with the manager looking to build his tactical system around key figures like Fernandez.
However, should the Chelsea hierarchy decide to proceed with a sale, Alonso has reportedly prepared a contingency plan. In such a scenario, the manager is said to be interested in Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni as a potential replacement.
Enzo Fernandez, 25, remains a vital asset for the London club. During the previous season, the midfielder demonstrated his impact by making 54 appearances across all competitions, contributing 15 goals and providing 7 assists, solidifying his reputation as one of the Premier League's most influential playmakers.
